THE Vatican has set the date for a historic meeting between Pope Francis and the first pope to resign in 600 years.
Pope Francis and Benedict XVI will meet privately over lunch at the papal retreat at Castel Gandolfo next Saturday.
Other engagements include a session with the leader of the Argentina.
The Pope has sharply criticised President Christina Fernandez over her support for liberal measures such as gay marriage and free contraceptives.
But the most closely watched appointment will be the unprecedented meeting between a pope and a former pope in the hills south of Rome with Benedict XVI.
Benedict has promised to remain outside church affairs and dedicate himself to prayer and meditation. Pope Francis, however, has not been reluctant to invoke Benedict's legacy and memory in both an acknowledgment of the unusual dimensions of his papacy and also a message that he is comfortable and fully in charge.
