And also now that Benedict is desperately wishing to die other people that respect him pretend that he's on the deathbed - which is the highest point in any catholic person life, second only to dying itself. Now that Benedict is on pretend deathbed he's so close to the doors between dimensions of life and death that he hears whispers from God and angles making him expert in everything in this world - from curriculum to you name it.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
