The passage of him by Canada He showed him fatigued and having difficulty getting up from the wheelchair that he must use. “I think that at my age, and with this limitation, I have to stop a little to be able to serve the church or think about the possibility of stepping aside. This, in all honesty, is not a catastrophe. You can change dad. The door is open. I did not think it was necessary to think about this possibility, but it does not mean that the day after tomorrow I will not think about it”, declared the Head of the Catholic Church.
