Make up your mind, Francis

Are you the Pope, Vicar of Christ and head of the Roman Catholic Church, or the High Druid of the Temple of Gaia?
Human beings have despoiled the earth, sinned against the earth, and “its response will be very ugly,” Pope Francis said Wednesday in a message for Earth Day 2020.

We have “failed to care for the earth,” we have “sinned against the earth,” the pope said during his Wednesday audience. “And how does the earth react?”

“There is a Spanish saying that is very clear about this. It goes: ‘God always forgives; we humans sometimes forgive, and sometimes not; the earth never forgives,’” he warned, departing from his prepared text. “The earth does not forgive: if we have despoiled the earth, its response will be very ugly.”
Dear Benedict: Please come back.

I have no idea why Pope Benedict doesn't speak out.
He did ask us to pray for him before he partially abdicated the papacy: "Pray for me, that I may not flee for fear of the wolves".
But why doesn't he speak out?
Why did he give in so meekly?
As far as I'm concerned, Pope benedict is still the valid pope(he never did resign full duties as pontiff; he still wears the papal white and the papal ring).

I have a couple of theories (of course I do). Liberation theology/communism has infested the Vatican and that's how Comrade Francis got elected Pope, or else Francis is possibly suffering the same neurological decline that afflicts our current Democratic nominee-to-be.
