Emeritus, Benedict XVI, in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery where he lives in the
Vatican Gardens.
By Vatican News
The Pope’s visit to Benedict XVI came on the eve of the
Canonization Mass during which Pope Paul VI, Archbishop Oscar
Romero and five others were elevated to Sainthood.
Benedict XVI was created a Cardinal by Pope Paul
VI during his last Consistory on 27 June 1977.
On 27 April 2014, the Pope Emeritus concelebrated the Canonization
Mass presided over by Pope Francis, of his predecessors John Paul II and John
XXIII: a Mass that has gone down in history as the Mass “of the four Popes.”
