The reasoning behind now-Pope Emeritus Benedict’s decision to step aside form the papacy is beginning to become clear:
The Telegraph - although it is generally agreed Benedict has appeared weaker in recent months. Spanish journalist Ms Borerro stands by her claims, saying: ‘Benedict is in a very bad way.
‘In the last 15 days he has undergone a tremendous physical deterioration.’
There has been some speculation that Benedict chose to resign when he did because he would have been physically unable to preside over the jam-packed events that occur in the week between Palm Sunday and Easter.
