Benedict XVI: Theories surrounding resignation are 'absurd'
en.radiovaticana.va "(Vatican Radio) The Pope-emeritus Benedict XVI has lamented what he calls 'absurd speculations' about his resignation in a letter to Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli, of the newspaper La Stampa. The Pope-emeritus was responding to a question about recent newspaper theories surrounding the validity of his resignation one year ago. 'There is absolutely no doubt regarding the validity of my resignation from the Petrine ministry,' Pope-emeritus Benedict XVI wrote. He said the only condition for the validity of his resignation was the complete freedom of his decision. He called speculation regarding its validity 'simply absurd.' He also clarified he continued to wear the white cassock and kept the name Benedict for 'purely practical reasons,' noting that at the moment of his resignation there were no other clothes available. In any case, he added that he wears the white cassock in a visibly different way to how the reigning Pope wears it. He called questions about his attire another case of 'completely unfounded speculation'." to read more: en.radiovaticana.va
