I have two or three years to live –Pope Francis

For the Catholic faithful, this piece of news will definitely be hard to stomach: Pope Francis verbalizes he has only two or three years to live.

Although the Argentina-born Pontiff was silent on why he cerebrates he would not live for more than three years, he alluded that he had   ‘some nerve problems’ which require treatment.

He verbalized with journalists aboard his jet as he returned from a peregrination to South Korea.

Francis, according to the Mailonline on Tuesday, additionally mentioned the possibility of retiring from the Papacy if his health failed to cope with the rigours of his office.

His predecessor, Benedict XVI, stepped down last year, in an unprecedented move that opened the way for Francis to become the Pope.

“I visually perceive it as the altruism of the people of God. I endeavor to cerebrate of my sins, my mistakes, not to become proud. Because I ken it will last only a short time,” the pope verbally expressed.

Then, ostensibly blithesomely, he integrated, “Two or three years and then I’ll be off to the Father’s house.”

A Vatican source, verbalized the Mailonline had claimed that the Pope   had antecedently told those proximate to him that he cerebrated he only had a few years to live.

Although Francis is 77, he has been the most vigorous Pope in years, his energy proving the key to his popularity.

His frank admission may lead commentators to notionally theorize as to whether he has any undisclosed health quandaries.

At the time of his elevation to the Papacy, reports emerged that Francis had a lung abstracted when he was a teenager in Argentina after suffering an infection.

The Mailonline quoted Dr. William Schaffner, chairman of preventive medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Centre in Nashville, Tennessee in United States, to have verbalized, “So whatever they did got him over that precarious period. As people age, they generally become more susceptible to lung infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis.”

The risk of lung infections increases if those affected have pre-subsisting conditions such as a debilitated immune system or heart disease.

But Francis jested about the nervous quandaries, verbalizing, “I must treat them well, these nerves, give them mate (an Argentine stimulant tea) every day.”

“One of these neuroses, is that I’m an inordinate amount of a homebody,” he integrated and recalled that the last time he had taken a holiday outside of   Argentina was with the Jesuit community in 1975.

Resigning the papacy, as his predecessor Benedict XVI did last year, was withal a possibility “even if it does not appeal to some theologians”, Francis told the journalists.

He integrated that 60 years ago, it was virtually unheard of for Catholic bishops to retire, but nowadays it was mundane.

As the jet travelled through the airspace, Francis withal addressed the issues circumventing the Catholic Church in China, a country which relucts to sanction Catholics to officially recognise the spiritual leadership of the Vatican.

Since the communist revolution, Catholicism, like all religions, has been sanctioned to operate only under the supervision of the State Administration for Religious Affairs.

Clerics who resisted this had been subjected to oppression, including long confinement torture and even martyrdom.

Pope Francis told the journalists he wanted dialogue with China and the only thing he asked in reciprocation was for the Catholic Church to be able to operate liberatingly.
