text: This comment has been quoted in the context of the Pope's meeting with some cardinals on his birthday. The Pope's homily on that occasion was a reflection on memory and history, on "beautiful moments of faithfulness and brutal moments of sin."
  
   In that context, he speaks about how others might remember him and his attempts to fulfill the central Papal task of securing the unity of the Church. He is not saying "I intend to split the Church" but that history might see him that way. He trusts in the Lord, who says "Go forward!" Look to the final judgement, by God, not the judgement of history. Not the judgement of a few dissenters who refuse the challenges of his teaching.
