June 4, 2021: Mons. Stefen Oster, the Bishop of Passau announced that he had the opportunity to visit Pope Benedict XVI today. He said on his Facebook page, where he posted the above photo:
And I am also very grateful for this cordial and fraternal encounter this morning. Papa emerito, son of our diocese, is wide awake in conversation – even when his physical strength is failing. He is also a close observer of the situation of the Church in Germany and, above all, a faithful prayer warrior for us in Germany and in our diocese.

Every bishop in the world should be doing this.
Victoria veritatis caritas
is Mons. Stefan Oster’s motto, after St Augustine’s
nam non vincit nisi veritas: victoria veritatis est caritas.
