I dont agree with it either because he is Pope Benedict XVI...the true and only Pope of the Church.  Francis is an antipope

Archbishop Rino Fisichella, president of the Pontifical Council for New Evangelization, does not agree with Benedict XVI’s choice of being called “Pope Emeritus” after his renunciation (thats right it wasnt a resignation). The prelate said during the presentation speech of “Il Papa del coraggio”, (literally, The Pope of Courage), a book written by Vatican journalist of Italian daily Avvenire, Mammo Muolo’s and published by Ancora editions, “I do not agree with the expression” Pope Emeritus “, which theologically creates more problems rather than solving them. Fisichella then added, “I respect it, but I will not use it” and will wait for “another expression” which is less problematic from a theological point of view. (BXVI is Pope its simple)

The Archbishop at the head of the dicasterium that Benedict XVI set up to promote the new evangelization joins others who have already expressed doubts and perplexity about the choice of the formula “Pope Emeritus”. Among them, Bishop Giuseppe Sciacca, secretary of the Apostolic Signatura, who asserted “the uniqueness of the Petrine succession does not allow within it any further distinction or duplication of offices, albeit no longer free in exercise.” Or like that of Cardinal Walter Brandmüller, who called “necessary and urgent a legislation to define and regulate” the status of who was Pope and no longer is after renunciation.

During the presentation of Muolo’s book, Fisichella emphasized how Ratzinger’s courageous decision opened a “new horizon” for the future of the Apostolic See, with the possibility for other Pontiffs to do the same. The archbishop also pointed out that while everyone lived very emotionally the groundbreaking and historic choice to renounce, for its protagonist, Benedict XVI, was a long meditated decision. Fisichella also mentioned his attempts to convince Pope Ratzinger to complete the trilogy of encyclicals dedicated to the three theological virtues: after the ones on charity (”Deus caritas est”) and hope (”Spe salvi”) lacked the one faith.

“While preparing for the Year of Faith, Fisichella said, in the meetings with other heads of offices, Cardinal Levada, then prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said that the Pope did not intend to write the third encyclical. I tried to convince Benedict XVI, pointing out that he had already made many speeches and interventions on the theme of faith and that there was enough material. I could have not known that he had already decided to renounce.” The encyclical “Lumen fidei”, as it is known, will be written “with four hands” and signed by Francis in 2013.

After Fisichella, Father Federico Lombardi, President of the Ratzinger Foundation and former director of the Vatican Press Room and spokesperson for Pope Benedict took the floor. Lombardi praised the depth of Muolo’s book especially on some interpretive keys, such as that of a reason “widened” or “open” to the possibility of the transcendent, or on the theme of faith, central to the Ratzinger’s pontificate. Furthermore, Father Lombardi emphasized the author’s sharp observation about the infamous Vatileaks issue. On one of the most painful events of the pontificate, “Mimmo Muolo noted that no paper or document that came out at that time has cast the slightest shadow of discredit on the Pope. In all the documents, there was no insinuation or criticism of the person of Benedict XVI. “
