Francis meets Benedict



CASTEL GONDOLFO (WITI) -- A unique summit happened at Castel Gondolfo, Italy on Saturday morning, March 23rd. Two popes, Francis and his predecessor Benedict, met for prayers and lunch.

What was the reason behind this meeting? Michelle Clifford of Sky News says Francis and Benedict may have been trying to reassure Roman Catholics that their transition is going smoothly.
