Benedict XVI

One year ago, Benedict XVI retired. It was an historic event.  Now some liberals get on Benedict for things before he was pope and maybe during his reign.  But think of this.  Benedict might have wanted to change things in the Vatican, but knew he was too old to bring it off in his time.  If he retired, the chances were good that Cardinal Broglio would get elected and have a few good years to shift things.  So it seems to be happening, for the better…if you are a liberal, that is.
