...to the conspiracy-campaigners (Gruner and team, the "Fatimists" and their allies) from Papa Emeritus Benedict. The conspiracy team (unrevealed secrets, coded messages,we-know-what's-really-going-on-in the-Church etc etc) has been getting a bit desperate and has been rambling its way round a new set of fantasies in which Papa B. didn't really resign (evidence: um...well...he still wears a white cassock, doesn't he?) and It's All A Very Complicated Plot... and so on and so on and so on...
Papa B. has now sent a letter establishing that yes, he did resign and yes, he did know what he was doing and no, there is nothing secret or sensational to discover. Which is what we all knew and understood. We love and honour him. It is horrible that self-appointed campaigners, lacking good standing in the Church, seek to wreck the serenity of his final years.

We haven't had a Pope emeritus for a long time. So there's no tradition for what he should wear. But he's still entitled to the dignity of the office, so a white cassock seems reasonable.
