Italian media report that Pope Francis has serious health problems that could lead to his premature resignation.
According to Libero, Vatican began to talk about new Pope. The current pontiff will turn 85 in December; a month ago, he underwent bowel surgery. Now the Vatican is worried about the health of Pope Francis, it is possible that his September trip to Slovakia and Hungary will be canceled.
The previous Pope Benedict XVI resigned at the age of 85 for health reasons.
At the moment, Benedict XVI is 94 years old, he has the status of a ‘retired Pope, and his residence is the Vatican monastery Mater Ecclesiae. We should note that Benedict XVI broke the record for longevity among popes.
Now he lives the detached life of a monk - information about the pension assigned to him appeared in the press - it is about 2,500 euros, but the official Vatican denied this. Benedict XVI became the first pope to resign in the last 600 years - the post of ‘retired pope’ was introduced especially for him.
The current Pope Francis is in good health. However, part of his lung was removed due to complications from pneumonia, and he suffers from pain in legs. Not so long ago, it was reported that the pontiff had an inflammation of the sciatic nerve. In 2014, during a conversation with reporters, Francis said that he did not deny the possibility of resignation, following the example of Benedict XVI, if his health condition would worsen. Francis has been on the throne for 9 years.
