German journalist says Pope’s health deteriorating quickly
His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI with Peter Seewald
Peter Seewald, a German journalist
who has collaborated with Pope Benedict XVI on book-length interviews, has said
that the Pontiff’s health is worsening rapidly.
Seewald told the German magazine Focus that when he met privately with the
Pontiff several weeks ago, he found him exhausted. The Pope is losing his
hearing, Seewald says, and appears to be blind in one eye. He also said that
the Pope has lost a great deal of weight, and new sets of vestments have been
needed to fit his thin frame.
