Vatican Obit Benedict XVI Highlights

Pope Benedict XVI

FILE - Pope Benedict XVI acknowledges faithful during his weekly general audience in Pope Paul VI hall at the Vatican on Feb. 4, 2009, a day after German Chancellor Angela Merkel called on him to make a "very clear" rejection of Holocaust denials after the Vatican's rehabilitation of a former bishop who questioned whether 6 million Jews were gassed by the Nazis. Benedict XVI enraged Jewish groups when he rehabilitated the Holocaust-denying bishop, a scandal that he admitted could have been avoided if someone at the Vatican had done a simple internet search of the bishop’s name. Benedict, the German theologian who will be remembered as the first pope in 600 years to resign, has died, the Vatican announced Saturday Dec. 31, 2022. He was 95.
