Pope Francis announced on Wednesday that his predecessor Pope Benedict XVI (pictured), the first pope to resign in almost 600 years, is “very sick” after a recent deterioration of his health.
The 95-year-old former pontiff resigned from the papacy in 2013, citing “advanced age.”
Addressing the public, Pope Francis said that there has been a decline in Benedict’s health due to his age but added that the situation is under control and that he’s being monitored by doctors.
