I have been searching for more reports on this, and here are the links below.
As an OLD-FASHIONED CATHOLIC (I reject Vatican II and all the Pope since WWII), these statements by Benedict/Ratzinger prove to me he does not have a clue about what the Bible says.
Revelation 19:10
"And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: FOR THE TESTIMONY OF JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF PROPHECY." (KJV)
Ratzinger also doesn't have a clue about the prophecies of the saints regarding the end of the world, including St. Francis of Assisi. I have an old book published in 1890, and St. Francis (13th century) literally discusses the end of the world, as well as FALSE POPES in the end times.
But let's just look at the other news reports of this counterfeit Christian leader, who is not even a real priest:

-- So, I guess that's enough proof that he actually came up with this ridiculous teaching, off the top of his head.
Catholics, beware. Another wolf in sheep's clothing!
