Fr. Chad Ripperger's Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) & Binding Prayer ("In the Name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and God, and by the power of the Most Holy Catholic Church of Jesus, I render all spirits impotent...")
Deliverance Prayers II The Minor Exorcisms and Deliverance Prayers compiled by Fr Chad Ripperger: Breastplate of St. Patrick (Modified) I bind (myself, or N.) today to a strong virtue, an invocation of the Trinity. I believe in a Threeness, with a confession of an Oneness in the Creator of the Universe. I bind (myself, or N.) today to the virtue of Christ’s birth with his baptism, to the virtue of his crucifixion with his burial, to the virtue of his resurrection with his ascension, to the virtue of his coming to the Judgment of Doom. I bind (myself, or N.) today to the virtue of ranks of Cherubim, in obedience of Angels, in service of Archangels, in hope of resurrection for reward, in prayers of Patriarchs, in preaching of Apostles, in faiths of confessors, in innocence of Holy Virgins, in deeds of righteous men.

So this fact cannot be overlooked in order to arrive with a coherence, for example, in the biblical context.
The disciples fled in fear during the Passion of Christ, but only the Mother of God and St. John the Evangelist remained before the cross of the Lord.
And Benedict XVI did not flee and remained faithful, with his white robes and apostolic blessings, until his death to this call of the Lord.
So we can look further into the canonical context according to this fact and this biblical truth.
The Apostolic Constitution Universi Dominici Gregis makes this invalid abdication clearer in articles 76 and 77. Benedict XVI, a leading legislator in the same Constitution, abdicates the ministry in favor of the Petrine Munus. He knows that you can't give up like that.
So, logically, one must have recourse to canon 334, which must be analyzed in order to understand the null action of it.
Because there is a coherence in Benedict XVI's gesture with a historical fact among the popes. For example, Pope Pius VII, with the imprisonment imposed by Napoleon, he was forced to send letters to the faithful through a person close to him. Obviously, he didn't have the freedom to express himself.
I prefer to trust in the voice of the Spirit of Christ, in the example of Benedict and Peter, who cast their nets into "deeper waters" (Luke 5:4-80).
1 – the correct passage is Luke, chapter five, verses four through ten;
2 - In a recent comment, but in the same context, I commented that St. Nicodemus during the Passion of Christ fled out of fear, in the same example as the other disciples. But Nicodemus had no need to flee: he was still maturing discipleship by Jesus secretly for fear of the Sanhedrin of the Jews.
