IMO so do people who go after an 85 year old man and so do people who carry guns and so do people that murder others and the list goes on an on w/me. What Ratzinger knew and when he knew ... who the hell knows.

Let him retire and let it go and hope that they put another pope in that will serve the people better.

Ratzinger was said to be nothing more than an "interim" pope when placed. I doubt the Vatican et al. knew he'd live so long!
