🇻🇦 WILL POPE FRANCIS CALL IT QUITS? VATICAN BUZZES AS HEALTH QUESTIONS GROW
Pope Francis, 88, is still in the hospital with pneumonia, and while the Vatican says he’s stable, talk of a possible resignation is heating up.
After all, Benedict XVI shocked the world by stepping down in 2013—could history repeat itself?
Francis has always said the papacy is “for life,” but he also admitted Benedict “opened the door” for popes to retire.
This week, he called a consistory to discuss sainthood candidates—the same kind of meeting Benedict held right before dropping his resignation bombshell.
Coincidence? Maybe. Maybe not.
For now, Francis seems focused on recovering and finishing the Catholic Church’s Jubilee Year.
If he does decide to step down, expect him to keep everyone guessing until the very last moment.
