@flozen Dumb commentary.
First - A death at 95 needs no explanation and merits no gloating from opponents. If anything, it's a personal "win" & shows lack of guilt. We should all be lucky to live as long.
Second - People who know the inside baseball, know that actually Benedict was one of the nicer & saner people, both for gays & for fighting clerical abuse. Catholic inside baseball gets very very very complicated, the public images statements accusations & lawsuits very different from who's who behind the scenes.
Not defending it. Only pointing out that nobody can ever know everything, and here, you sure don't. Not that I would know all either, so enough said.
