Pope Francis resigns? Bergoglio clarifies once and for all

“A word can be interpreted one way or another, right? Those are things that happen. And what do I know… I don't know where they got from last week that I was about to resign! What word did they take in my country? That's where the news came out. And they say it caused a sensation when nIt hasn't even crossed my mind. Faced with interpretations that arise a little distorted in some of my words, I remain silent, because clarifying is worse ”.

He affirmed it Papa Francesco in the Spanish Catholic radio interview Cope.

And onrecent operation at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome: “It was all planned and it was notified… After the Angelus I went directly to the hospital, around one, and it was communicated at 15.30:XNUMX pm, when we were already in the preliminaries” of the intervention.

Pope Francis also let himself go to a few jokes when the journalist quoted him in the saying about “Weeds that never die“…“ Exactly, exactly, - Francesco replied - and this also applies to me, it applies to everyone ”.

"Now I can eat anything, something you previously couldn't with diverticula. - he said - I still have the postoperative meds, because the brain has to register that the gut is 13 inches shorter. And everything is managed by my brain, the brain manages our whole body and it takes time to register. But life is normal, I lead a totally normal life ”.

Another joke he reserved by answering the question about his health: "I am still alive", He said laughing, remembering that his operation was due to a deterioration of the intestinal diverticula:" in those parts they deform, necrotize ... but thank God the situation was taken in time, and you see me ".

Hence, the now famous reference to the Vatican health nurse. "You saved my life! He said to me: 'You have to operate.' There were other opinions: 'No, the one with antibiotics ...' and he explained it to me very well. He is a nurse from here, from our healthcare facility, from the Vatican hospital. - Francesco explained - He has been here for thirty years, a man of great experience. It is the second time in my life that a nurse has saved my life ”.
