I agree. Benedict should’ve taken a vow of silence once he retired.
We Anglicans manage to retire Archbishops of Canterbury without too much difficulty. Maybe the papacy can take a lesson.
LOL I love those pink slippers.
Pat Marrin makes a good allegorical point. Benedict IS a weight on Francis’ papacy..
I like Francis even though I am not a catholic. He’s not so stuck in the dark ages.
I wonder if Benedict’s last name could be Arnold?…
No, the sequel will be called, “Those Magnificent Popes in their Jaunty Popemobiles.”
Apparently Francis shuns the popemobile.
Former presidents keep somewhat quiet. They’ve never been a big problem
