Italian General: U.S. National Security Agency bragged about forcing Pope Benedict to resign

"As reported by LifeSite’s Maike Hickson on Thursday, on the eve of Benedict’s burial, Laporta, who since retiring from the Italian military has turned to a career as a Catholic writer, revealed that just weeks after the election of Joseph Ratzinger to the papal throne in 2005, an official of the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) 'was bragging about the resignation to which H.H.
