'Modest' 90th birthday party for retired Pope Benedict XVI

A "modest" 90th birthday party is being planned for Benedict XVI, who stunned the Catholic Church by resigning as pope in 2013.

His personal secretary and long-time aide, Monsignor Georg Ganswein, told an Italian Catholic news agency on Saturday that Benedict's birthday, which falls on Easter Sunday this year, will be celebrated on Monday in Bavarian style, in keeping with the emeritus pontiff's roots.
