Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI's passing has prompted condolences and remembrances from leaders the world over.
President Joe Biden called him a "renowned theologian, with a lifetime of devotion to the Church, guided by his principles and faith."
"I had the privilege of spending time with Pope Benedict at the Vatican in 2011 and will always remember his generosity and welcome as well as our meaningful conversation," Biden said in a statement. "As he remarked during his 2008 visit to the White House, 'the need for global solidarity is as urgent as ever, if all people are to live in a way worthy of their dignity.' May his focus on the ministry of charity continue to be an inspiration to us all."
