NCR & 1P5 Dail asked "Why is he [Pope Benedict] still in the Vatican?" & Editor Zmirak answered "He is not a Free Agent"

Today, on the Dr. Taylor Marshall YouTube show, One Peter Five and National Catholic Register contributor Francis conservative Bree Dail questioned why is Pope Benedict XVI "still in the Vatican?":

"He [Benedict] wanted to resign and retire in a monastery in Bavaria. Why is he still in the Vatican? These are questions I have asked and other people have asked and there are no answers to it... I just think people have to ask the question. What is the usefulness of him being in the Vatican? He is no longer the pope."
(1:30:58- 1:31:16)

Might the "answer" to the question on why Benedict is "still in the Vatican" be because he is "not a free agent"?

Today, former editor at Investor's Business Daily and present Senior Editor of The Stream John Zmirak said Benedict is "almost a prisoner in the Vatican... he is not a free agent":

"He is almost a prisoner in the Vatican... Benedict co-wrote a book with Cardinal Sarah defending celibacy... enormous pressure was put on Pope Benedict who is almost living as a prisoner of Pope Francis. He can't leave... What this shows me is Pope Benedict is not a free agent. He is not able to do what he wants."

"I really think the Italian police should remove him from the Vatican and make sure he wants to still be there. I don't think he is there of his own free will. And I wonder if he resigned of his own free will?"
(The Eric Ketaxas Radio Show on YouTube,
Guest Journalist John Zmirak, 24:07- 25:

Pray an Our Father now for the restoration of the Church as well as for the Triumph of the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart Mary.

Mainstream Media: "Is America the Real Victim of Anti-Russia Sanctions?" & "Biden's arrogant anti-Russian sanctions have amounted to a price hike on working class Americans that have so far failed to weaken the Russian economy"

  Mainstream Media Acknowledges Biden’s “Arrogant” Sanctions On Russia Are Damning Americans:     @MaxBlumenthal Biden's arrogant anti-Russian sanctions have amounted to a price hike on working class Americans that have so far failed to weaken the Russian economy. His neocon policy accelerates the process of de-dollarization, diplomatic isolation & imperial decline. The mainstream new outlet asked "Is America the Real Victim of Anti-Russia Sanctions?": Remember the claims that Russia’s economy was more or less irrelevant, merely the equivalent of a small, not very impressive European country? “Putin, who has an economy the size of Italy,” Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in 2014 after the invasion of Crimea, “[is] playing a poker game with a pair of twos and winning.” Of increasing Russian diplomatic and geopolitical influence in Europe, the Middle East, and East Asia, The Economist asked in 2019, “How did a country with an economy the size of Spain … ach

Book Review: The Banished Heart: Origins of Heteropraxis in the Catholic Church by Dr. Geoffrey Hull (minor update)

http://theradtrad.blogspot.com/2013/08/book-review-banished-heart-origins-of.html Book Review: The Banished Heart: Origins of Heteropraxis in the Catholic Church by Dr. Geoffrey Hull (minor update) Dr Geoffrey Hull source: Wikipedia.org Once every now and then one finds an author capable of approaching a daunting subject with remarkable clairvoyance, not muddling himself among polemics or minutiae. Dr. Geoffrey Hull is one such author. His  The Banished Heart: Origins of Heteropraxis in the Catholic Church  recalls that old saying that the truth is not between two positions, but rather above them. Hull examines the roots of the twentieth century liturgical overhaul by rising above the disputes between liberals and traditionalists that have raged on for five decades and taking a long, far-sighted look back centuries more, to the late first millennium, when the Roman liturgy was maturing, the Roman patriarchate was expanding its missionary presence in Western and Eastern Europe, and the
