The Coptic Orthodox Church, headed by H.H. Pope Tawadros II mourns the departure of H.H. Pope Benedict XVI, the Former Pope of the Vatican. He departed today, at the age of 95, after he spent his life serving the Roman Catholic Church in various roles. He was the best successor to the best predecessor.

We offer our condolences to our brother and friend, H.H. Pope Francis I, and to all the clergy and congregation of the Catholic Church around the world.
