Glamtush reports that France’s President Emmanuel Macron has paid tribute to former pope Benedict XVI after he died on Saturday at the age of 95, praising him for his work towards a “more brotherly world”.

“My thoughts are with the Catholics of France and the world, bereaved by the departure of his holiness Benedict XVI, who strove with soul and intelligence for a more brotherly world,” he wrote on Twitter.

Similarly, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said that he was “saddened” by the death of former pope. The British leader described the late pontiff as a “great theologian”.

Sunak wrote, “I am saddened to learn of the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. He was a great theologian whose UK visit in 2010 was an historic moment for both Catholics and non-Catholics throughout our country. My thoughts are with Catholic people in the UK and around the world today.”
