Former Pope Benedict XVI is 'seriously ill,' according to a German newspaper report
VATICAN CITY - The Vatican, responding to a German newspaper report that former Pope Benedict XVI was seriously ill, said on Monday his condition was “not particularly worrying” and that he was overcoming a painful but not grave ailment.
Seewald said Benedict, who has been in shaky health for some time, was now suffering from shingles, a viral infection that causes painful rashes and is common among older people. Seewald said Benedict’s voice was barely audible - echoing something other visitors have said for months - and that the former pope told him he might pick up writing again if he regains his strength.
Georg Ratzinger died on July 1 aged 96. The two brothers were ordained priests on the same day in 1951.
