| The Next Pope? Pope Jester I? |
I have to think that the announcement
that Pope Benedict, “Cardinal Ratzinger’s” decision to stick around the Vatican
in a Convent is a poor decision and or says too many negative things to me.
CONVENT RETREAT
After he leaves office on February 28, he will go first to the papal summer residence south of Rome and then to a cloistered convent inside the Vatican walls, exchanging the splendor of his 16th century Apostolic Palace for a sober modern residence. http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/02/12/us-pope-resigns-idUSBRE91A0BH20130212
While I know that an 85 year old man’s
capacity to annoy his successor on minor points of occasional gossip is to be
expected.
That he needs the protection of the
Vatican as in an armed Mafioso type bunker, in a convent, says so much of the
reality sitting outside the Vatican Gates for Crimes Against Humanity charges
floating around the legal ether in various political realms in Europe and or
North and South America.
While I can see maybe a half dozen
close friends and or confidants and with ranks of Archbishop and or Cardinal
knocking on the Convent door for a few ten minute sessions of “What would you
do in a situation like this?” type of friendly chit chat, I have to wonder if
Benedict’s chosen successor will be a full and or partially stringed marionette
dancing to the John Paul II’s and Benedict XVI’s regimes agenda hampered in modern times (Modernism is truly a Bitch!) by public
scrutiny and modern social technical communication intercourse.
In other words, is Benedict really
retiring or is he merely moving the RCC control center out of public view.
And the next pope will be a fully
functioning Disneyland minimum wage costumed employee greeting the tourists in the street
while the real power of the Vatican and its international banking and business
empire disappears from view?
And or is revenge, payback German
style being plotted as part of Benedict’s immediate pre-retirement and
post-retirement plans?
