VATICAN CITY — Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is lucid, conscious and stable but his condition remains serious, the Vatican said Thursday, a day after it revealed that the 95-year-old's health had deteriorated recently.
On Wednesday Francis revealed that Benedict was"very ill" and went to see him at Benedict's home in the Vatican Gardens where he has lived since retiring in 2013. The Vatican later said Benedict's health had deteriorated in the recent hours but that the situation was under control as doctors monitored him.
People are also reading… "Pope Francis renews the invitation to pray for him and accompany him in these difficult hours." Word of Benedict's declining health immediately posed questions about what would happen when he dies, given the unprecedented reality of having a reigning pope presumably presiding over the funeral of a former pope.
