Joseph Ratzinger: Subtle Destroyer
January 19, 2023
THE LIONIZING of the recently deceased “Pope” Benedict XVI continues apace.
Conservatives indulge the fantasy that the erudite Joseph Ratzinger, who was under suspicion of heresy by the Holy Office under Pope Pius XII, was the ideological antithesis of the blabby, openly Marxist Frank Bergoglio, whose apostasy is difficult to ignore. Ratzinger was supposedly striving to preserve tradition, rather than engaging in his own classy form of demolition.
The two, in fact, constituted a synthesis. The aim of the One World Religion has always been to appear non-exclusive, including even “rigid” traditionalists under its umbrella.
“It is never advisable to die as the former head of a false religion,” writes Dr. Thomas Droleskey of Benedict in a three-part series that examines Ratzinger, the shameless, “cultured” revolutionary:
Joseph Alois Ratzinger/Benedict XVI was a “cultured” heretic as opposed to the vulgar heretic from Argentina, Jorge Mario Bergoglio … Ratzinger/Benedict used pseudo-intellectualism to obfuscate what is clear and to make it appear as though almost everything about the Holy Faith was subject to skepticism, doubt, and re-examination. He used subtlety and a cloud of murky linguistics to deny Our Lord’s Bodily Resurrection from the dead and his deliberate use of imprecise terminology cast doubt upon Our Lord’s Real Presence in the Most Blessed Sacrament and even the existence of Purgatory.
Ratzinger employed “subtlety and a cloud of murky linguistics” where his partner in crime employs scattershot insults and reckless blasphemies.
