Pope makes emotional speech to priests
Pope Benedict said on Thursday he would withdraw into isolation, away from public sight after his resignation at the end of the month. Tears, laughter and applause marked a meeting the pontiff held with pastors from Roman parishes in the Vatican. "Even if I am withdrawing into prayer, I will always be close to all of you and I am sure that you will be close to me even if I remain hidden to the world," the pope told the pastors.
