Pope Francis meeting with predecessor in Rome

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 23 Maret 2013 | 22.40

An historic meeting is currently taking place between Pope Francis and his predecessor Pope Emeritus Benedict near Rome.

There is no public record of any previous meeting between a Pope and his living predecessor.

Hundreds of people gathered today in the square of Castel Gandolfo outside Rome in advance of the meeting.

Benedict resigned last month citing ill health.

The meeting is the first time the two men have met since the election of the new Pontiff although the two have spoken briefly by phone.

Pope Francis took the 15-minute helicopter trip to Castel Gandolfo this afternoon.

Pope Emeritus Benedict is spending the first few months of his retirement at the summer retreat.

He will then return to the Vatican to live in a convent in the grounds of the city.

The Vatican stressed that the meeting will be a private one but said a brief statement will be issued after the event.
