I read through everything (even the links on the letter to the president) so don't think this is another Duckforcover "hit and run!" 
But I don't know about a deep state OP. I can see how and why people want to connect the dots but Benedict was going senile (and is on his death bed after progressively getting worse since then) so I don't think it's a grand conspiracy.
Another thought, it's not like we can go in and install the "shah", if the college of cardinals select the new pope EVEN IF there was some plot to bring Benedict down, it's on the COC to put the new one in. If (and I mean IIIIFFFF) everything that preceded Francis becoming pope is as the article points out, Vatican City can only blame itself, they put him in power.
