Francis has often said he would resign if health impaired him from running the 1.3 billion-member Roman Catholic Church

Francis was asked if he believed an official norm should be established for cases when health problems or an accident impeded a pope.

“You have it. I don’t know to whom Cardinal Bertone may have given it, but I gave it to him when he was Secretary of State,” Francis said, adding he was revealing it for the first time in public. Since July, Francis has made three international trips - to Canada, Kazakhstan and Bahrain - and plans to visit Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan Jan. 31-Feb. 5.
