The Vatican has denied a Spanish report that Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI is seriously ill.
On the contrary, said Vatican spokesman Father Federico Lombardi, Benedict XVI “does not have any illness” and “this has been certified by his doctors”.
The report in El Mundo quoted Spanish Vaticanista Paloma Gomez-Borrero as saying: “Benedict XVI has something very serious. In 15 days his physical condition has deteriorated tremendously, that’s the news I have.”
