Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI traveled to his native Germany Thursday to be by his brother’s sickbed, the Vatican said Thursday. Benedict, 93, arrived in Regensburg, Germany where his 96-year-old brother, the Rev. Georg Ratzinger, lives and was the long-time choirmaster. Benedict “will spend the necessary time” there, the Vatican said in a statement.
