Pope Benedict XVI Reportedly Blind in One Eye

Just over a week left as pontiff

A week after Pope Benedict announced his resignation, more than 50,000 supporters jammed into St. Peter's Square on Sunday for his next-to-last weekly blessing, as it emerged the aging pontiff may have gone blind in one eye. 

Addressing the cheering crowd, which was larger than usual for the Sunday Angelus, Benedict appeared to criticize the infighting that has plagued the Vatican during his reign.
