MarcoTosatti.com (February 15) reports the claim of a “very high” Vatican prelate, likely a cardinal, that Joseph Ratzinger feels he is "Pope" and "not retired."
He published the Ratzinger/Sarah book to make this manifest, the source insists.
According to the prelate, Francis understood this and "got scared,” which caused him to change the text of “Querida Amazonia.”
The problem: Ratzinger keeps vigorously contradicting such claims.

Like your aggressive and bullying self , your understanding of English is backward .
Everything you disagree with must be a lie.
Pope Benedict has indeed retained elements of the papacy including titles, dress, places of residence, how he continues to be called your Holiness.
That he has done so clearly manifests substantial error in his thinking that he has properly left the office …

HE iS therefore in substantial error concerning the object of his intended resignation

That conforms to the requirement of an invalid resignation per canon 188

Boiling over with the self righteous intolerance of the profoundly ignorant you roar and spit at everyone who disputes or disagrees with you.
Argument based on objective reason with a imbecile such as you is not possible.

( cue the usual pathetic HOWLING from poster Ultraviolet that everything I write is a lie)

Thor, on the contrary, you are one of the most intelligent and honest and courageous interlocutors on Gloria TV in the English language. I really do not know why Ultraviolet is not flagged as a troll. He clearly wants the St Gallen Mafia to eat its cake in peace.

Ultaviolet is indeed a pedantic troll quibbling over the most petty of details
comfort ye
But this is "Ratzinger". To believe that he did not "resign" as pope because he is "in substantial error concerning the object of his intended resignation" is fairly impossible. Perhaps he did have a gun at his back....

@comfort ye Your statement shows that you are either blind or completely ignore the norm of Canon 332 .2 which requires a renunciation of munus as the essential act. When you renounce something else, you have posited an act of another essence and thus the substance of the entire juridical acts is corrupted by a error. That is what substantial error means in the worst possible scenario. It does not …More

It is entirely possible for any pope to make a mistake in the manner and motivation for which he undertakes his resignation.
The church’s canon law allows for this
