Benedict XVI is the Palpatine to JPII's Darth Vader. Sorry for the pop-culture reference but that's the only way I can put it.
Ratzinger is the mastermind of the entire VII rebellion, in my opinion, making his reputation as the "restorer of tradition" all the more risible; JPII was his charismatic frontman. Well, some say he was charismatic, I didn't see it personally. Saying "I LUHVE YOU" in a Polish accent doesn't do it for me. Together Ratzinger and Wojtyla are like the Pius X/Merry del Val from hell.
If you study their encyclicals, though I'd always thought that cardinals and bishops had a hand in those, there are two distinct styles. JPII just repeats the word "man," dignity of man, glory of man, whatever.
Ratzinger, I'd say, clearly writes his own encyclicals because he speaks in the same way he writes. He uses a form of mind-control or hypnotism that tangles your mind, which is why people stay in SSPX or Novus Ordo.
I will try to describe a Ratzinger pargraph in a form of shorthand. The pattern is usually like so --
Orthodox orthodox orthodox orthodox slight heresy orthodox orthodox orthodox HUGE WHOPPING HERESY orthodox orthodox QUALIFICATION OF PREVIOUS HERESY SO NOW WE'RE NOT SURE IF IT'S HERESY ANYMORE orthodox orthodox.
He has a masterful way of mixing your head up, throwing in truth with lies and then going back and making you doubt that you read what you think you did, or that there was some other meaning behind what you thought was a heresy, and that he didn't mean it in the way it came across.
Notice how people like Caminus always tell you to "read the docuмents of VII in the light of tradition." As soon as someone says that they are out the door. That is exactly what these guys want to do, make smoke come out of your ears as you try to make lunacy seem orthodox. Eventually you don't even know what the Catholic faith is anymore.
I am not in the position to judge anyone's soul but if these VII Popes do go to hell, I can't even imagine the torments they will undergo. I can't understand how people like this aren't quaking in their boots. Beneath that placid surface of Ratzinger must be an unimaginable seething hatred because otherwise he wouldn't dare to do what he is doing. Iniquity is indeed a mystery; what is the benefit of it? There is none except the love of pain.
