Bishop Emeritus Ratzinger remains a liberal even though he promised the world he’d clam-up after abdicating.
Of course, he says he has a mandate but he will not tell his readers where the mandate came from but it certainly did not come from his office as Pope.
He abdicated but still wears white, calls himself Pope, and dispenses Apostolic Blessings.
Now, imagine if Richard Nixon called his own self, POTUS Emeritus Nixon after he resigned, and delivered his opinions standing behind a podium with the presidential seal on it and issued pardons, as the band played Hail to the chief, – all the while claiming he is no longer POTUS.
Citizens would be understandably confused to the point where they might think there are two POTUS.
Bishop Emeritus Ratzinger could end the Two Popes scandal but he refuses to do so.

Speaking of Nixon, let's harken back to better days when politicians and entertainers had mutual respect.
Does it get anymore entertaining than this? A drug-addled rocker arriving at the Oval Office wearing a cape and a pistol and telling The POTUS he understands Communist Brain Washing?
“The narc badge represented some kind of ultimate power to him,” Priscilla Presley, Elvis’ then-wife, wrote in her memoir Elvis and Me. “With the federal narcotics badge, he [believed he] could legally enter any country both wearing guns and carrying any drugs he wished.”
