As the anniversary of Benedict XVI’s historic resignation approaches, the retired pontiff has given new, brief comments to a Bavarian television station, offering a peek into what his life and condition are like seven years later.

Published on Bavarian television network BR24 Jan. 3, the 30-minute segment was conducted by German journalist Tassilo Forchheimer, who paints a picture of Benedict’s daily life, his studio, and his physical condition. Benedict, who has generally kept a low-profile since he stepped down in 2013, was described by Forchheimer as having a “weak voice” and walking with “great difficulty,” always accompanied by his personal secretary, German Archbishop Georg Gänswein.
