Benedict XVI is the pope at home
One of the interesting facts about Benedict XVI is that he is a pope at home. Since Gregory XII in 1415, he was the first pope to step down, and Celestine V in 1294 was the last to do so of his own volition. Pope Emeritus Benedict maintained his good looks. Monsignor keeps his white papal robes on. On March 13, 2013, Pope Francis took over, and on May 2, 2013, he retired to the recently restored Mater Ecclesiae Monastery in the Vatican. In his retirement, Benedict XVI occasionally made public appearances alongside Pope Francis.
Pope Benedict XVI enjoys playing the piano to unwind. He enjoys listening to soothing music, and Beethoven and Mozart are his two favorite composers.
The Pope has a pilot's license as well, and during his summer vacation, he frequently uses a helicopter to travel. The pope never took a driving course and never obtained a license, which is an interesting fact. He is proficient in speaking German, English, Spanish, French, and Italian. Pope Benedict XVI loves cats and has two of them as pets at his residence in Germany. The Pope has long admired Bavaria's splendor and taken pleasure in country hikes.
