The demise of Pope Benedict, who became the first pontiff to resign in some 600 years, was disclosed via a statement issued on Saturday by Vatican spokesman, Matteo Bruni.
“With sorrow I inform you that the Pope Emeritus, Benedict XVI, passed away today at 9:34 in the Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican.
