(ANSA) – VATICAN CITY, FEB 25 – Senior Italian Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco said Tuesday that Pope Francis’s current health problems do not warrant talk of him resigning as head of the Catholic Church.
“It seems to me that there is no reason to speak of resignation,” Bagnasco, the former head of the Italian Episcopal Conference (CEI), told Rtl 102.5 radio.
“If the world has stopped to pray (for Francis), it is a great thing: a chain of prayer has risen up to the Lord precisely for the Holy Father Francis in this very delicate moment.
“According to the medical bulletins, the pope’s health condition is improving slightly.
“We continue to pray that he will improve more and more, until his complete recovery and return to his ministry”.
