Pope Benedict was one of the few good popes in the modern era. He saw the Catholic Church was dying for decades and realized all of the modernizations from Vatican II, etc., were actually pushing people away from the Church instead of trying to draw in young people.
Because he wanted the Church to return to its more traditional conservative roots, I remember the mainstream left wing media hating on him excessively. They brought up the fact he was in the Hitlerjugend and tried to twist that around into some negative thing, even though that is awesome and makes him one of the most based popes ever. Braindead normies who do not pay attention to anything other then the mainstream media probably just remember him for being in the Hitler Youth and the memes of his face over Emperor Palpatine's body, which was the globalist's intention.
He was forced to resign as pope in 2013 by the communists in the Catholic Church which my understanding is a violation of the Church policy which states that the pope must serve for life or until they are on the verge of dying, but Benedict stayed alive for 10 more year after being forced to resign. Pope Francis took over and he is of course an obvious satan worshipping globalist pedophile.
If Europeans had a strong Catholic Church it would act as another option for people to turn to for solace when faced with the globalist death cult. When people saw their countries being flooded by an army of murderous and rapacious "migrants" they would reject the globalist cult and get strength from the Church community which is a part of traditional European culture. They would have a place to organize themselves and fight back against the invasion.
So it was important for the globalists in Europe to corrupt the Church so that as Europe gets invaded, the only belief system that people have to turn to is the globalist death cult which tells them they are evil sinners if they do not enjoy seeing their countries invaded and their people raped, robbed and murdered. Pope Francis kisses the feet of migrant rapists and tells European Catholics that the right Christian thing to do is let their countries be destroyed and allow the invaders to genocide the European population. Motherfucker is pure evil.
I do remember hearing about Benedict's passing when it happened, but it was buried in the media. He died on the 31st of December in 2022 which was New Years eve so the holiday probably overshadowed his death, most people partying and getting drunk, as well as all of the other shit going on in the world. By the time people were back on schedule after the first week of January his death was already out of the news cycle.
