 Pope Francis could resign over ill health says Italian cardinal. Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, the former head of the Vatican’s department of cultural affairs, raised the possibility as the 88-year-old pontiff spent his sixth day in hospital battling pneumonia in both lungs. The Cardinal said Pope Francis had a tendency to “fight”, but if he was no longer able to communicate in an “immediate, incisive and decisive way”, he may consider resigning. “I think he could do it because he is a person who is quite decisive in his choices,” said Cardinal Ravasi in an interview with Italian radio network RTL on Thursday. |
