Pope Francis drops resignation hints

Two years to the day after he was elected to
lead the world’s 1.1 billion Catholics, Pope
Francis said today that he expects to have only
a short papacy.
An ABC News report quoted him as telling
Mexican broadcaster Televisa: “I have the feeling
that my Pontificate will be brief, 4 or 5 years; I
do not know, even 2 or 3.
“I feel that the Lord has placed me here for a
short time, and nothing more.”
The report said the 78-year-old pontiff
compared the feeling to “a gambler who
convinces himself he will lose so he won’t be
disappointed. And if he wins, he’s happy.”
When asked if he liked being pope, Francis
reportedly told the interviewer that he doesn’t
mind, but that he also wouldn’t mind some
degree of anonymity. “The only thing I would
like is to go out one day, without being
recognized, and go to a pizzeria for a pizza,” he
was quoted to have said.
Francis, who assumed the office following the
resignation of Pope Benedict XVI, marked the
second anniversary as pope by hearing
confessions at the Vatican.
