It is due to be published on Sept. 9.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Citing health reasons, Benedict in 2013 became the first pope in six centuries to resign. He promised to remain &#8220;hidden to the world&#8221; and has been living in a former convent in the Vatican gardens.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Italy&#8217;s Corriere della Sera daily, which has acquired the Italian newspaper rights for excerpts and has access to the book, ran a long article on Friday summarizing its key points.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the book, Benedict says that he came to know of the presence of a &#8220;gay lobby&#8221; made up of four or five people who were seeking to influence Vatican decisions. The article says Benedict says he managed to &#8220;break up this power group&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Benedict resigned following a turbulent papacy that included the so-call &#8220;Vatileaks&#8221; case, in which his butler leaked some of his personal letters and other documents that alleged corruption and a power struggle in the Vatican.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Italian media at the time reported that a faction of prelates who wanted to discredit Benedict and pressure him to resign was behind the leaks.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">POPE&#8217;S DIARY<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The Church has maintained its centuries-long opposition to homosexual acts.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">But rights campaigners have long said many gay people work for the Vatican and Church sources have said they suspect that some have banded together to support each other&#8217;s careers and influence decisions in the bureaucracy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Benedict, who now has the title &#8220;emeritus pope,&#8221; has always maintained that he made his choice to leave freely and Corriere says that in the book Benedict &#8220;again denies blackmail or pressure&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He says he told only a few people close to him of his intention to resign, fearing it would be leaked before he made the surprise announcement on Feb. 11, 2013.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The former pope, in the book-long interview with German writer Peter Seewald, says he had to overcome his own doubts on the effect his choice could have on the future of the papacy.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">He says that he was &#8220;incredulous&#8221; when cardinals meeting in a secret conclave chose him to succeed the late Pope John Paul II in 2005 and that he was &#8220;surprised&#8221; when the cardinals chose Francis as his successor in 2013.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Anger over the dysfunctional state of the Vatican bureaucracy in 2013 was one factor in the cardinal electors&#8217; decision to choose a non-European pope for the first time in nearly 1,300 years.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Benedict &#8220;admits his lack of resoluteness in governing,&#8221; Corriere says.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the book, whose lead publisher is Germany&#8217;s Droemer Knaur, Benedict says he kept a diary throughout his papacy but will destroy it, even though he realizes that for historians it would be a &#8220;golden opportunity&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former Pope Benedict says in his memoirs that no-one pressured him to resign but alleges that a &#8220;gay lobby&#8221; in the Vatican had tried to influence decisions, a leading Italian newspaper reported on Friday.
