After reports that the head of the Catholic Church and Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis, called for an extraordinary meeting of cardinals, fresh rumors have sparked up on whether the 85-year-old wants to leave his role.
Pope Francis was recently seen in a wheelchair amidst a knee injury and he was quoted by Marca saying “Instead of operating, I am going to resign”.
Pope Francis, real name Jorge Mario Bergoglio, took over the papal seat after his predecessor, Pope Benedict, resigned due to failing health.
