Disunity has become the predominant new order of the day while a mere remnant of the flock has kept the True Faith. The present-day war against the Faith greatly outweighs any attempts to keep it universally intact.
It was reported last week that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI had allegedly said in an interview that Pope Francis is the only reigning pope at this time. The interview was published in the Italian weekly Corriere della Sera, and taken up by the Vatican News Service.
Italian journalist Massimo Franco, who interviewed Benedict XVI on June 23, had published only a few direct quotes in his five-page article about the meeting. According to Catholic News Agency (CNA), Benedict said that Francis is the only Roman pontiff.
"The pope is one, it is Francis," he reportedly told Franco.
