This is the first time in
more than 600 years that two popes will be alive at the same time and in each
others company. Usually one would have to die before the other takes over…but
Pope Benedict XVI retired last month.

Pope Francis flew to Castel Gandolfo by helicopter
yesterday to visit Benedict who has been living at the papal villa since he
officially retired on February 28. They prayed together in the chapel before
sharing a private lunch.
