13. There is some power structure of Cardinals and Bishops that drove Ratzenberger/Benedict to quit

He was the first ever pope to quit. I don't know what power those weirdos have. Financial? Maybe they have half the others blackmailed into submission. Maybe that weirdo cult leader and messiah thing is so deep in the minds of their rivals that they cannot buck authority.
