Rapidly declining health of Pope Emeritus Benedict

Cardinal reveals 'shock' at declining health of Pope Emeritus Benedict that has left him 'half his previous size'

The declining health of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI has left him physically half his previous size, it has today been claimed.

A German cardinal who visited him said he was 'shocked' at how his state of health had deteriorated.

Joachim Meisner, the Archbishop of Cologne, visited Benedict on March 18, the day before Pope Francis succeeded him. It was during the time Benedict had been living in Castel Gandolfo, the papal summer residence outside Rome.
