Andrea Cionci: "The Holy Father [Benedict XVI] , of whom we have been saying for two years that he is impeded, has chosen from 73 biblical books the only one in which the expression 'I am impeded' appears"

And so, last Thursday, he sent the most faithful Archbishop Gänswein to Lumsa to present the book by the atheist mathematician Piergiorgio Odifreddi accompanied by a few pages by Benedict XVI, about which we have already written HERE .
First of all, Archbishop Gänswein began with a wonderful amphibology: “ Before coming here I prayed with Pope Benedict, as every Catholic priest does, at vespers. And that says it all". HERE
In fact: it says it all. The skilful construction of the sentence means that it can also be understood perfectly as: “Before coming here, I prayed vespers, as a true Catholic priest does, that is, IN UNION WITH POPE BENEDICT” . So he is telling the priests of the Sodality that they are right to remain una cum with Pope Benedict. HERE “In English” to read the entire discussion of the sentence, with the contribution of prof. Gian Matteo Corrias.
But let's get to the heart of the matter and let Msgr. Gänswein continues, as shown in the video HERE : " Pope Benedict told me, first of all:" Do not make an institutional greeting, give a personal greeting from me and tell everyone: ' I did not deserved this illustrious list of presenters' . I said to him: "Holy Father, if I say this they don't believe me, but I obey"; «Either you believe or you don't believe, if you do not believe you read, either Jeremiah or Isaiah. I don't say which verse and which chapter, but there is the answer»”.
By now accustomed to the language of the Holy Father, we jumped at the reference to Scripture typical of the Ratzinger Code which, as you know, fully follows the communicative method of Jesus HERE “In English” .
We will let you imagine the jolt when, in chapter 36, verse 5, the writer reads the sentence:
“Then Jeremiah ordered Baruch:” I AM IMPEDITED and I cannot go into the temple of the Lord."
The Holy Father, of whom we have been saying for two years that he is impeded, has chosen from 73 biblical books the only one in which the expression "I am impeded" appears. - Andrea Cionci [https://sfero.me/article/from-the-book-of-jeremiah-the-definitive-ratzinger-code-of-benedict-xvi-i-am-impeded]- Get link
