BREAKING: Pope Benedict XVI Dies

Former Pope Benedict XVI has died.

News ToGo learned that the former Pope died at his Vatican residence at the age of 95 years. His demise came almost a decade after he resigned from the papal seat because of ailing health.

He led the Catholic Church for less than eight years until, in 2013, he became the first Pope to resign since Gregory XII in 1415.

Benedict spent his final years at the Mater Ecclesiae monastery within the walls of the Vatican.

His successor, Pope Francis, said he had visited him there frequently.

Although the former Pontiff had been ill for some time, the Holy See said there had been an aggravation in his condition because of advancing age.

On Wednesday, Pope Francis appealed to his final audience of the year at the Vatican to “pray a special prayer for Pope Emeritus Benedict”, whom he said was very ill.

Born Joseph Ratzinger in Germany, Benedict was 78 when in 2005 he became one of the oldest Popes ever elected.

Catholics and other people around the world have been reacting to the report of former Pope Benedict’s death.

AFCON: Yul Edochie Breaks Silence Amid Backlash Against Him Over Fake Prophecy

Yul Edochie, the Nollywood actor turned pastor, has responded to the criticism surrounding his erroneous prophecy about the AFCON 2023 final.
