Pope Francis Considers Resignation Amid Health Struggles
As Pope Francis recovers from pneumonia in Rome, he delegates duties to cardinals while weighing resignation. He recalls Benedict XVI’s 2013 move, once believed unthinkable, and notes canon law limits while asserting papal office is for life despite past writing of a resignation letter. Benedict’s death in 2022 and Francis’s evolving views frame the debate on whether future popes may resign.
