Sorry if someone has already posted it, but here is a link to a video of Pope Francis and Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI meeting yesterday.

I was struck by how frail HH Benedict XVI looks.

Wow, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI looks frail, but in good spirits - which is good.

Pope Francis seems to get along well with him, which is also nice to see.

Thanks for the video.

“No one knows what protocol to follow as there are no precedents” in the meeting of two popes...


“No one knows what protocol to follow as there are no precedents,” the Curia explains.

Tomorrow’s lunch will be a sort of handover of power that has not been witnessed in the whole of Christianity’s two thousand-year old history.

One unanswered question from the meeting between Francis and Benedict: What was in that mysterious white box?
The Vatican video showed the two men sitting down for their 45-minute private conversation, facing a table on which a white box was placed. On top of the box were two large envelopes. As soon as the image was shown in the Vatican press office, reporters joked that the box must have held the famous Vatileaks dossier...

Francis gave Benedict a Russian icon on Saturday. There's an interesting little story behind the gesture...

Pope Emeritus Benedict does look frail. Perhaps his decision to abdicate was wiser then I first thought. In any case, prayers for him and Pope Francis.
