I always hope that Benedict XVI somehow lives long enough to be told that Francis is dead. Not likely, but would'nt be ironic that despite his age and frail body, Benedict XVI is somehow able to be present at Francis' funeral. That would be ironic.
Benedict XVI is still Pope. And I wish he would speak out very strongly in support of Summorum Pontificum, and the Roman Mass. So much so that it ruins all Francis' edicts against it. And Francis would not dare go against Benedict. Francis is already much hated in Italy and much of the Catholic world. To do that, would cause a tremndous backlash against hom, his associates, and his "synodal Church)
