Benedicto XVI
Benedicto XVI, born Joseph Ratzinger, served as Pope from 2005 until his resignation in 2013, becoming the first pope to resign in nearly 600 years. His papacy was marked by efforts to address the Catholic Church's sexual abuse crisis and promote interfaith dialogue. A theologian and scholar, Benedict emphasized traditional Catholic doctrine and was known for his conservative stance on various social and moral issues. His resignation was largely attributed to health concerns, and he spent his later years living in the Vatican as Pope Emeritus.
Born on Apr 16, 1927 (99 years old)
