One of the things that happened when Pope Benedict XVI retired is that all the Cardinals who had Vatican jobs, lost their jobs. That is one of the reasons that Vatican government ceases during the Sede Vacante. Now if Benedict felt that the Vatican needed a clean sweep, but was too old or tired to take it on, he could retire and let the next pope do it. And more, I don't believe that there is a Canon Law that requires Cardinals, or the ordained of any rank, to run those Vatican offices. A lay woman could do it with the right eduction. Now that would be a prophetic voice!
