Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin has said that during his three recent visits to Pope Francis in hospital there has been no discussion regarding the option of resignation.
“No, no, not at all,” the cardinal stated when asked by reporters at an event held at the St. Regis Hotel in Rome on 10 March, reports the Catholic News Agency (CNA).
Parolin addressed the topic of the health of the 88-year-old pontiff who has been hospitalised since Feb. 14, and his ability to still lead the global Catholic Church.
