The Ukrainian president has expressed on Twitter his «sincere condolences» for the death of Joseph Ratzinger to the current Pope, Francis, to the whole ecclesiastical hierarchy and, in general, to the Catholic faithful around the world.
Ratzinger died Saturday morning at the age of 95. Pope Francis will preside over the funeral in his memory on Thursday, January 5, in St. Peter’s Square.
