Benedict Skepticism

The more I poke around YouTube, the more I find alternative opinions on Pope Benedict XVI, like this one from Michael Voris. Voris, by his own admission, has a colorful past, but so far, I see nothing heterodox in his opinions, though he is conservative.

In Voris's view, Benedict is responsible for appointing many of the bishops and cardinals who have been most problematic in the current controversies over matters like communion for the divorced and remarried. This is hard to dispute.

He also notes that Benedict is responsible for an innovation nearly as stunning as married priests, the idea that a pope would retire and not serve for life. He feels this will cause enormous mischief, now and in the future -- we may speculate on the precise cause of Benedict's abdication, but the practical result is that a pope can now be forced out like an unpopular CEO.

Voris makes no mention of the feckless Anglicanorum coetibus.
