241: Pope Benedict XVI Speaks: I am no longer directly responsible [Podcast]

Pope Benedict XVI breaks his silence and a few questions arise: Did Pope Benedict XVI actually write it? And if so, has he changed his opinion on the Church in the 1960s? Were you surprised about what he says about Catholic seminaries going back to the 1960-1970s? Pope Benedict XVI finally speaks saying: “I am no longer directly responsible”. But he says much more. He speaks about how Natural Law as abandoned at Vatican II, bad seminary formation, bad bishops who “rejected the Catholic tradition as a whole and sought to bring about a kind of new, modern ‘Catholicity’ in their dioceses,” and everything leading up the crisis that popped open in the Summer of 2018, including a “Thank you” to Pope Francis. #TnT Dr. Taylor Marshall and Timothy Gordon examine and analyze all the important passages in the 6,000-word document.
