Recently, speaking with a group of journalists aboard his jet as he returned from a trip to South Korea, The Argentina-born Pope Francis said he has only two or three years to live due to some nerve problems’ which require treatment.
“I see it as the generosity of the people of God. I try to think of my sins, my mistakes, not to become proud. Because I know it will last only a short time... Two or three years and then I’ll be off to the Father’s house.”
The respected Pope, according to the Mailonline, also hinted on the possibility of retiring from the Papacy if his health failed to cope with the rigours of his office.
Recall that his predecessor, Benedict XVI, stepped down last year, in an unprecedented move that opened the way for Francis to become the Pope.
Pope Francis is 77, he has been the most vigorous Pope in years, his energy proving the key to his popularity.
