So firstly, let's agree, the Pope's resignation was (in part) a diversionary tactic that has backfired beyond all expectations. The world was meant to speculate on the incoming Pope; where the outgoing Pope might reside; how he might spend his time; and so on. While these events unfold we were not meant to wonder "what is the real news?". It would appear that quite the reverse has happened!
Controversy Over Pope's Resignation
So to the real story - what are the contents of the big red books? While they remain secret (and no doubt they will) the world will continue to speculate. Gay orgies? Is that really as bad as it gets? Hardly earth shattering stuff and certainly no surprise to those on the outside. I imagine it suits the Church to allow this speculation to continue - it is likely to be far less damaging in the long run than the truth that they will endeavour to continue hiding.
What could be so bad? Hmmmm .... let me think about that one..... a gay Pope? Nope! ... Proof that Dan Brown was right all along? Highly probable but would that be enough to stand down? Surely not - the theory that Jesus was married to Mary Magdalene and they had a daughter has been around forever... something worse?
It has to be something that would truly hurt the Church at its heart.... but what?
