VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis hailed the 'beloved' Benedict XVI on Sunday (Jan 1) as he addressed thousands of Catholics in New Year's Day services at the Vatican, the day after his predecessor
"Today we entrust the beloved pope emeritus Benedict XVI to the most holy mother , to accompany him in his passage from this world to God," Pope Francis said at a mass for peace at St Peter's Basilica.
