Pope Benedict XVI

Today marks 13 years since one of the most important and unexpected moments in the modern history of the Catholic Church.

On February 11, 2013, during a routine morning meeting with cardinals, Pope Benedict XVI announced to the world that he would resign from the papacy.

The then 85-year-old Holy Father declared that the decision would come into effect on February 28, 8:00 p.m.

This action marked a historical precedent, being the first resignation of a Pope in nearly 600 years (since Pope Gregory XII in 1415).

His decision paved the way for the conclave that subsequently elected Pope Francis, while Benedict took the title of Pope Emeritus, living in the Vatican until his death.
