B16 has never come across to me as a shy flower; not as the pope nor as a cardinal in charge of the CDF.<br /><br />I give zero credibility to those who purport to know someone else's heart from afar. It's border-line gossip.<br /><br />We'll never know the deepest reasons of B16 unless he discloses them.
