Pope Benedict says it's ‘foolish prejudice’ to question Pope Francis’ theological formation - LifeSite

In a new letter, Pope Benedict says there is an ‘interior consistency’ with between he and Francis' papacies.

“Thank you, Holy Father, for your goodness, which from the first moment of your election, to every moment of my life here, has touched my heart.” The Pope Emeritus added, “More than the beauty of the Vatican Gardens, your goodness is the place where I live; I feel protected."

God bless them both.

It’s not the fault of LSN that in some corners of Catholicism, adultery is to be treated with every possible “merciful” response, but desire for Latin in the liturgy is an unforgivable sign of “rigidity.”
 
Thanks for the update,Mark.
So,the letter I posted ,was ok. The one from 2016 which I cited and liked a lot.
The link where I posted from had in turn another letter that was incomplete
The link now has the complete second letter( the one referring to the gift of Francis’ s books,which reads like this:

"February 7, 2018

Most Reverend Monsignor,

Thank you for your kind letter of January 12 and for the attached gift of the eleven small volumes edited by Roberto Repole.

I applaud this initiative which is intended to oppose and react to the foolish prejudice that Pope Francis is only a practical man without any special theological or philosophical training, while I have been only a theorist of theology with little understanding of the concrete life of a Christian today.

The small volumes demonstrate, rightly, that Pope Francis is a man of deep philosophical and theological formation, and they therefore help to show the interior continuity between the two pontificates, although with all the differences of style and temperament.

However, I do not feel I can write a brief and dense theological page on them, because throughout my entire life it has always been clear that I would write and express myself only about books that I had also truly read. Unfortunately, for physical reasons alone, I am unable to read the eleven little volumes in the near future, but all the more so as other commitments that I have already undertaken await me.

I am sure you will understand and I offer you cordial greetings.

Yours,

Benedict XVI. "

Is it ok now like this?

At his age,Pope Emeritus is truly amazing…a genius!
