The president-elect posted a message on social networks that he regretted the death of the retired pope. He was 95 years old and died in a former convent within the Vatican gardens where he had lived since 2013, when he resigned.
Lula recalled Bento 16’s visit to Brazil in 2007 when he was president of the PT, and said he had the opportunity to talk to the pastor “about his commitment to faith and Christian teachings.”
He ends his message by wishing “comfort to the faithful and admirers of the Holy Father.”
