I'm glad to see that at least you admit that the claim the Pope denies the resurrection of the body is false.

Indeed I cannot see him explicitly teaching it. A lot of his writings seem to be in the form of questions, which he leaves either half answered or hanging, though. Not very edifying.

In any case it is unjust to impute to a criminal a crime he did not commit. Such seems to be the case with ANTIpope Benedict XVI and the allegation that he explicitly denied the resurrection of the body, though he certainly did not teach the matter as a Catholic pope would.

He calls into question whether we rise with our own bodies. Not Catholic. Not Catholic at all. Can you imagine Pius X doing this?

"Careful about accuracy" Was it proven the Father Ratzinger did not write what he wrote in his books?

I am not being sarcastic but would really like to know if such is believed.

L.o.T. I am sorry! My writing was unclear! I took you at your word that Fr. Ratzinger had written this. I do not doubt your accuracy.

Did I understand correctly that he changed once he became B16?

Also, it is I who should be careful about accuracy and state plainly that I am no theologian, and I am a slow learner.

Well,

Other people seem to agree with you so I have started to doubt myself on this point. I am more going by a sermon by Bishop Sanborn whose link I will have to find and share on this site than what was written.

I am very willing and will not be surprised if I stand corrected or at least partially corrected on this issue. I do hope if such is the case that it does not undermine the other things I have shared. I do pride myself in both honesty and sincerety.

I appreciate your humility.

But L.o.T. I personally would not ever use MHFM as the last word in accuracy. They are destructive, IMO.
