Could you show me some citation for this? If it is true than he sinned. Sorry. I like Pope Benedict XVI, but he’s a sinner just like all of us.

Why would you say the Pope sinned if a piece of host dropped on the altar? The purpose of the corporal is to catch fragments of the host. Perhaps he did not notice if he dropped it. Dropping a fragment of a host is not a sin.

No it is not, however the Host should have been quickly picked up and consumed. That was my point. Perhaps he did not notice, I mean if assuming he did than he should have picked up the Host and consumed it.
