Cardinal
Francesco Coccopalmerio: He
will remain in being addressed as His Holiness Benedict XVI. Will be the Bishop-Emeritus of Rome
H.E. Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio
"He will not
return to the cardinalatial dignity, his
title will be His Holiness Benedict
XVI."
In analogy with
what happens in the case of the other bishops on finishing their episcopal ministry they are called
bishops-emeriti, therefore I think we can say that on resigning, the Pope is in turn called as the Bishop-Emeritus of Rome. "
