Best Answer

Pope Benedict XVI, following his resignation will be considered a Pope emeritus, or Roman pontiff emeritus, he will also continue to be known by his papal title of Benedict XVI and he will continue to be addressed as "Your Holiness" Benedict XVI

"Emeritus" is a Latin word meaning "retired", from the verb "emereri" - to earn one's discharge by service.
