"And I beheld, and heard the voice of one eagle flying through the midst of heaven,
saying with a loud voice: Woe, woe, woe to the inhabitants of the earth....

Burke Blunders: Benedict XVI Did Not Want To Be Pope? And Left Governing the Church "to Others"

Burke Blunders: Benedict XVI Did Not Want To Be Pope? And Left Governing the Church "to Others"

Joseph Ratzinger was a great teacher of the faith but "he did not want to be pope", Cardinal Raymond Burke told O Clarim on December 21.

According to Burke governing the Church, "which isn’t easy for anyone", posed a tremendous challenge for Benedict XVI,

"So, he left it to others to attend to these things and there are some who did not serve him well.”

Rafał_Ovile writes:  OOPS, someone is not conforming his thoughts to reality. [...but he did not want to be pope...] "The "always" is also a "for ever" – there can no longer be a return to the private sphere. My decision to resign the active exercise of the ministry does not revoke this. I do not return to private life, to a life of travel, meetings, receptions, conferences, and so on. I am not abandoning the cross, but remaining in a new way at the side of the crucified Lord. I no longer bear the power of office for the governance of the Church, but in the service of prayer I remain, so to speak, in the enclosure of Saint Peter." Pope Benedict XVI (remains Pope)

  1. Burke just doesn't seem to want to face the truth.

  2. It is Pope Benedict destiny to become Pope whether he likes it or not. He is the Pope from the Glory of Olive prophesied by St. Malacy and even Bl. Emmerich saw PB16 in her vision. If someone is destined by God to be a ruler or a king or a great leader it will happen. There is nothing impossible. It is just being a Pope is a great responsibility. We live in a time of apostasy Pope B16 remained strong despite of his old age despite of those who hated him because he holds the true church teachings. I💙PB16

  3. Many of Ratzinger's theological points of view and comments, besides oozing with Modernism are contrary to Church teaching. He looked like a pope with all the papal trappings whereas Francis always looks like a frump.
