This was published 4 months ago Pope Benedict orders his name be removed from controversial book on celibacy London: Former Pope Benedict has asked for his name to be removed as the co-author of a controversial new book that threatened to undermine his successor over the highly sensitive issue of celibacy. Breaking his pledge to remain "hidden from the world" following his retirement in 2013, Benedict joined forces with a senior cardinal to release a book this week on priestly celibacy, just as Pope Francis considers whether to allow the ordination of married men to help alleviate a shortage of priests in South America. The implications for such an intervention are grave, and are likely to fuel renewed anxiety about the unprecedented situation of two popes, one retired and one reigning, living side by side in the Vatican gardens. The book, titled From the Depths of Our Hearts: Priesthood, Celibacy and the Crisis of the Catholic Church, has been viewed as an attempt to hijack the debate and force Francis to reaffirm the status quo when he hands down a highly anticipated paper on the subject in the coming weeks. However Benedict has now instructed his personal secretary, Archbishop Georg Ganswein, to contact the book's principal author, Cardinal Robert Sarah, and have the former Pope's name removed by the publisher. Sarah on Monday roundly rejected accusations he had used Benedict's name without permission, producing letters between both men about the project. "I solemnly affirm that Benedict XVI knew that our project would take the form of a book. I can say that we exchanged several texts to establish the corrections," he wrote on Twitter. Sarah later said: "Considering the controversies provoked by the publication of the book ... it is decided that the author of the book will be for future publications: Cardinal Sarah, with the contribution of Benedict XVI. "However, the full text remains absolutely unchanged." Francis has expressed sympathy with the plight of Amazonian worshippers who often go weeks or months without mass due to a priest shortage. While he has long reaffirmed the gift of a celibate priesthood in the Latin rite church, he has stressed that celibacy is a tradition, not doctrine, and therefore can change, and that there could be pastoral reasons to allow for a exception in a particular place. Benedict's intervention is extraordinary, given he had promised to remain "hidden from the world" after stepping down in 2013 and pledged his obedience to the new Pope. He has largely held to that pledge, though he penned an odd essay last year on the sexual abuse scandal and blamed the crisis on the sexual revolution of the 1960s. Francis has expressed sympathy with the Amazonian plight. With AP Bevan Shields is the Europe correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age.

Matteo Bruni I Tiskovni ured Svete Stolice uključio se u ponedjeljak, 13. siječnja 2020. u raspravu o svećeničkom celibatu koju je potaknula knjiga pape emeritusa Benedikta XVI. i prefekta Kongregacije za bogoštovlje i disciplinu sakramenata kardinala Roberta Saraha o krizi svećeništva u Crkvi i svećeničkoj službi. Predstojnik Tiskovnog ureda Svete Stolice Matteo Bruni na pitanja novinara odgovorio je da je „stajalište pape Franje o celibatu poznato”. Između ostaloga naveo je riječi pape Franje iz siječnja 2019. da nije za uvođenje opcionalnog celibata. „Osobno smatram da je celibat dar za Crkvu”, rekao je tada papa Franjo, i istaknuo da se ne slaže s dopuštanjem opcionalnog celibata. Dodao je da je to možda moguće samo za najudaljenija mjesta na svijetu, davši primjer pacifičkih otoka. (kta/ika)
