Senior Italian Cardinal
Angelo Bagnasco said Tuesday that Pope Francis's current health
problems do not warrant talk of him resigning as head of the
Catholic Church.
"It seems to me that there is no reason to speak of
resignation," Bagnasco, the former head of the Italian Episcopal
Conference (CEI), told Rtl 102.5 radio.
"If the world has stopped to pray (for Francis), it is a great
thing: a chain of prayer has risen up to the Lord precisely for
the Holy Father Francis in this very delicate moment.
"According to the medical bulletins, the pope's health condition
is improving slightly.
"We continue to pray that he will improve more and more, until
his complete recovery and return to his ministry".
