bad staffing says the NYT.
“'It wasn’t one thing, but a whole combination of them” that caused him to resign, said Paolo Rodari, a Vatican expert at the Italian daily newspaper Il Foglio. Clerical sex abuse scandals battered the papacy relentlessly, erupting in the United States, Ireland and across Europe, all the way to Australia.
But the most recent, the scandal involving the butler, 'was a constant drumbeat on the pope,'”
"But the fatal flaw of his papacy, Vatican experts say, and a leading cause of the scandals and missteps, is that he did not choose the right deputies to make the institution run well."
“'The major problem of this pontificate is his choice of Bertone as secretary of state, and his insistence in keeping him there,'”

Yes. Pope hasn't the gift of discernment, which have all the prophets seers and revelators - on the other side of the world.
- Whenever a poet or preacher, chief or wizard spouts gibberish, the human race spends centuries deciphering the message. - Umberto Eco
