On February 11, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI shocked the world by announcing his resignation โ€“ the first pope to do so since Gregory XII in 1415. He cited declining strength due to advanced age. His decision set a precedent for future popes and demonstrated profound humility. He lived the remaining years of his life as Pope Emeritus until his death on December 31, 2022.
