The House of Representatives on Tuesday unanimously voted to adopt a resolution conveying its condolences to Pope Francis over the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, the former leader of the Catholic Church.
“…As a predominantly Catholic country, the Filipinos share in the sorrow of those grieving over the loss of an endeared man of faith, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI, and he will always be especially remembered as a Pope of Charity, a great theologian, catechist, and musician who gave hope to all those who know his life, his principles and his legacy,” House Resolution 688 read.
He was appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising, Germany by Pope Paul VI in March 1977, ordained bishop in May, and proclaimed cardinal in June of the same year. He was elected Pope on April 19, 2005 at the age of 78, becoming the first German pope of the modern era—an election he later said felt "like the guillotine."
