Antonio Socci in his book said "during the days of the polemical
statements [by Team Francis] concerning Ratzinger's preface to the book
of Cardinal Sarah Bergoglio [Francis] gave a homily that seemed to be a

XVI who relinquished all the power of governance [as the Bishop of
Rome]... remain[ed]... pope [the Successor of Peter] " according to
Socci?

and the Immaculate Heart of the Mary.
