The Letter, Veritatis Splendor and Amoris Laetitia

Here's a summary of the Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI Letter that makes the tongue in cheek bordering on sarcasm language obvious and also his unhappiness at those who attack Veritatis Splendor: "I am unable to read the eleven volumes" but the "small volumes show, rightly, that Pope Francis is a man of profound philosophical and theological formation, and they therefore help to see the inner continuity between the two pontificates... I don’t feel like writing a short and dense theological passage on them... Professor Hünermann, who during my pontificate had distinguished himself by leading anti-papal initiatives. He played a major part in the release of the 'Kölner Erklärung' [Cologne Declaration], which, in relation to the encyclical 'Veritatis splendor', virulently attacked the magisterial authority of the Pope, especially on questions of moral theology...

Almost all the Catholic bloggers, affectionately known at the Catholic Monitor as the Band of Bloggers, united as one voice under the banner of Frank Walker's Canon212.com to single handedly rout the Lettergate disinformation of Pope Francis's Vatican. The Francis Vatican was defeated and caused to retreat in disorder despite the cooperation of the secular media and all of the Catholic media: leftist, conservative and traditional.  When the Letter came out all of the secular media, all of the leftist Catholic media and surprisingly the conservative Catholic media such as Life Site News as well as the traditional Catholic media such as the Remnant went along with the Francis Vatican's disinformation that Pope Benedict XVI was 100 percent behind Francis's failed papacy after reading 11 books on Francis's teachings. As soon as the letter came out the Catholic bloggers and Canon 212 immediately screamed in headlines that it was obviously fake news. The
