VATICAN CITY - Former Pope Benedict wants his name removed as co-author of a new book on the issue of priestly celibacy, his personal secretary said on Tuesday, in the latest twist in a saga that has riveted the Roman Catholic world.
The book, “From the Depths of Our Hearts”, is due to be published in France on Wednesday. Excerpts were released at the weekend, angering some Roman Catholic scholars who said Benedict risked undermining his successor, Pope Francis. “I solemnly affirm that Benedict XVI knew that our project would take the form of a book. I can say that we exchanged several texts to establish the corrections,” Sarah, 74, wrote on Twitter.
He said accusations that he was manipulating Benedict were “despicable” and that his allegiance to Francis was “total”. He also published a signed letter from Benedict in which the former pope wrote in Italian: “For my part the text can be published in the form you have foreseen.” “Can the status of the emeritus pope be left in the hands of private people who do not have to answer to anyone?” Badilla said, in apparent reference to those with access to Benedict, who lives in seclusion in a former monastery in the Vatican.
