During one of the last conversations that the pope's biographer, Peter Seewald of Munich, was able to have with Benedict XVI, as he was bidding him goodbye, he asked him: "Are you the end of the old or the beginning of the new?"

During one of the last conversations that the pope's biographer, Peter Seewald of Munich, was able to have with Benedict XVI, as he was bidding him goodbye, he asked him: "Are you the end of the old or the beginning of the new?" The pope's answer was brief and sure: "The one and the other," he replied. The recorder was already turned off; that is why this final exchange is not found in any of the book-interviews with Peter Seewald, not even the famous Light of the World. You do not have to be a Canon Lawyer to judge the current state of the papacy. Pope Benedict's attempted, invalid, "partial resignation" from the throne of Peter is the greatest crisis Holy Mother Church is suffering. Ratzinger's "Bifurcation of the papacy" has been the Freemasonic goal for generations. This book's chosen topic is the hardest thing I have ever had to write; it is cringeworthy, controversial and political. I have lost friends over it, received hate mail, been told "you are not Catholic" or "you come on too strong", been called a conspiracy theorist or a sedevacantist. And worse: "Our Lady must not be pleased with you". Even the just, who believe the contents of this work, are afraid to write about it, say it out loud or preach it from the pulpit (for those who are shepherds) for fear of the persecution that comes with it. When I began losing friends and shunned even by priests, even though Canon Law showed me I was right, I was tempted to stop speaking about this topic publicly and go back to praying for the intention in secret. But then, I was reminded of the parable of the talents; if Our Lord has given me so precious a gift of understanding in regard to the current state of the papacy, and then I repay Him by going and burying this truth He has given me, out of my fear of men rather than fear of the Master, how dare I. Some of the greatest Canon Lawyers in our Church, who indeed have the most influence to do good, are not speaking up about the Laws being broken. They will tell you "His resignation was totally valid and looks like any of the past resignations". The only question I will pose in this description, is why then, did Pope Benedict XVI wear the Papal white all the way up until his death on December 31st, 2022?
