Pope Benedict is dead. For his sake I wish that he'd refused the papacy to begin with. Was he a good pope? No, he fled from the wolves, just as he feared he would. That being said, I think it should be clear to everyone by now that in order to clean and restore the Church it would require a fearless pope saint willing to embrace a white and possibly red martyrdom. Benedict was not that guy but he was not just as bad as Francis as some people have been gleefully saying. He has gone to his judgement. May God have mercy on him and in us.
