po process is called for prayers for the former part of benedict. the 16th who he says is quote, very ill. francis has visited benedict inside his residence in the vatican where he's been living since stepping down as leader of the catholic church. for some 600 years, no pope had resigned from a pontiff benedict the 16th. and at that centuries, long stretch and 2013 fighting poor health since then, his left a quiet life out of the spotlight known as pope ameritas burglary. so the benedict condition worst named his successor pope frances has asked people to pray for him at a general audience in the vatican. we're here with you all. i would like to ask all of you for a special prayer for pope ameritas benedict, who in silence is sustaining the church vessels and let us remember him. he is very sick in montgomery asking the lord to console and sustain him in this witness of love for the church in christa until the end warrior that he is he not of whom

benedict was pope for less than 8 years. he became the 1st pontiff to apologize for scandals over medical sex abuse of children, but was criticized for failing to end cover up by the church. and although his health has been declining in his retirement, but francis is known to have said that benedict retained a good sense of humour with ground for they never enrollment across europe in cities. many people were sad to hear the news of his blossoming help. yeah, i don't remember him a spoke because i was still a child, but he is suddenly a good person, but he's no sick. so i think it's right that people pray for him. because di berman said december didn't, of course we identified with him very much because he was a german pope. and i have great respect for him to the pub sick as we're worried because the death of a pope is very important. and we hope it's not going to happen while hope and

prayers for a pontiff is short and controversial. pepsi broke with tradition benedict. the 16th is now being closely watched around the clock by dr. to can. let's go wrong now and speak to author and journalist philip will. and philip, could that be with us? what do we know about the form of pope's condition? when a benedict has been declining slowly for years now, he's 95 years old. it said that he's remained until very recently, perfectly lucid, but you have been very frail, can find often to a wheel chair and people who visited it. it's very difficult to understand what he's saying that his voice is being very weak. so there is

a feeling that the candle is gradually going out. this is an image that was used about him as some years ago by his secretary. and it does seem that now that is literally the case. it's been really a decade since he resigned. as pope remind viewers if you can of the significance of his tenure as part of i think it will be remembered as the 1st to resign his office in 6 centuries. that something really extraordinary, almost without precedent and inevitably, is fixed in the minds of people who follow the activities in the church. but he also was a very erudite theologian and custodian of the dogmas traditional teachings of the catholic church. and since he resigned,

he's become a focus or opponents of the liberalizing reforms. but frances, with the impression that there been 2 people, one court in x, in a convent in the data. and the other court around frances. so this would be a certain amount of tension between the 2 men. even though francis in benedict himself said he would retire into silence, devote his life to her and meditation and music. of course, the only days he enjoyed playing the piano, but i think people remember it as the custodian of traditional catholic teaching. while many catholics concerned about the way the church is changing
