Selbst Kardinäle beteiligen sich an den Gerüchten: Seit Papst Franziskus im Krankenhaus liegt, wurde erneut über einen Rücktritt des 88-Jährigen spekuliert. Doch da soll nichts dran sein.
The Vatican has denied rumors suggesting Pope Francis might resign due to health issues, with Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re stating the Pope is recovering well and there's no discussion of resignation. Re also dismissed claims of secret cardinal meetings. While some cardinals speculate a resignation could be possible if the Pope's health worsens, Pope Francis has consistently dismissed such rumors. He has, however, mentioned having a signed resignation letter in case of incapacitation. The Pope is currently hospitalized for a complex lung infection, with recent updates indicating improvement but no timeline for discharge.
