In an interview granted to Argentine journalist and physician Nelson Castro at the Vatican in February 2019, the pope said he thinks about death, but does not fear it.Asked how he sees his final days, Francis, who is 84, responded: “I will be pope, either active or emeritus, and in Rome. I will not return to Argentina.”
Francis has had to cancel some events in recent months due to a painful problem with sciatica, but is not known to suffer any other major ailments.According to the new book, “This is the first time that a pope has discussed his health with the transparency afforded by Francis.” The pontiff, formerly the archbishop of Buenos Aires, says he does not miss his native Argentina, where he was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, the son of Italian immigrants.
“No, I do not miss it. I lived there for 76 years. What pains me are its problems” — an allusion to the economic crisis shaking the South American country.Beyond his age, the leader of the world’s 1.3 billion Catholics is considered to be high-risk: in 1957, aged 21, he suffered from acute pleurisy and had part of his right lung removed.
