Emeritus Pope Benedict
XVI is in relatively good health considering he will turn 91 on
April 16, Vatican sources told ANSA Thursday.
Speculation has been rife about the ex-pope's health since
his brother Georg said earlier this week that he was suffering
from a "paralysing disease".
But the Vatican sources said Benedict's health was "good" and
he was still managing to go on short walks.
"He is continuing to receive visits and there is no
particular alarm," they said.
