What happened?

Cardinal Robert Sarah has rejected claims that he misrepresented Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, saying that there is “no misunderstanding” between them. Last week, Ignatius Press published a book in which both Cardinal Sarah and Benedict defended the institution of clerical celibacy. The cardinal and the Pope Emeritus were originally listed as co-authors, but after an outcry, Benedict’s aide Archbishop Georg Gänswein asked for Benedict to be listed only as a contributor.
