“What is perfection in love? Love your enemies in such a way that you would desire to make them your brothers … For so did He love, Who hanging on the Cross, said ‘Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do.’” (Luke 23:34)

Spot on. Check out Ann Barnhardt’s re-post of the “Letter From an Absentee Father to His Children” comes to mind when I read this post.

Yes, pride gets us all. Lord have mercy on Benedict and me.
God bless~
During Benedict’s papacy, I thought he was a traditional, scholarly pope. But, now, after six years without an intervention by Pope Emeritus on behalf of the abandoned sheep and in defense of the Church, I think of him as the “not as bad as Francis” pope who deserted us. His motivation for the latest essay seems to be more for the preservation of his own clerical and papal reputation. There’s much excuse-making and blaming the turbulent 1960’s era, rather than on his mistakes and those of the post-Vatican II popes. Maybe I’m misjudging him, but I think he’s more concerned for his legacy than for the present chaos that Francis is causing. He’s shown that he is mentally capable, so there’s no excuse for him sitting back while Rome burns.
...
I like Benedict and I think he did the right thing to resign. I wish JP2 had resigned when he wasn’t able to do his job anymore. All popes should resign at least once.
What he did most wrong was before he resigned and after he resigned. But I don’t believe anymore that he abdicated out of a sense of duty. I think he did it because he was too cowardly to do what he knew had to be done.
I have always been against Pope Benedict's decision to resign, as I am against regular bishops retiring. It is an abuse of the spiritual family to have to 'switch' fathers as though it was a regular job.
However, I cannot be as harsh against him as Mundabor is, even though much of what he writes is correct. The truth is that Pope Benedict realised in the cold light of day just what a rotten mess NOChurch was but either he was too invested in Vatican II to see it as the problem, or he was simply too cowardly to point it out and correct the errors.
Now we are left with Bergoglio on account of his weaknesses, and the Church is barely holding its head above water what with Bergoglio's relentless attempts to sink the barque of St. Peter.
