Pope Francis has revealed in a new interview that he has already signed his resignation letter to be used in the event of him becoming “impaired.”

Francis made the comment in an interview with Spanish news outlet ABC, published Sunday, when asked what would happen if a pope is suddenly rendered unable to perform his duties due to health issues or an accident. Francis said he wrote the letter several years ago and gave it to then-Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, who resigned in 2013. “I have already signed my renunciation. The Secretary of State at the time was Tarcisio Bertone.

Francis said past pontiffs Paul VI and Pious XII had also drafted their letters of renunciation in the event of a permanent impairment. Francis, 86, appears to be in good health apart from knee problems. He has often been seen with a walking stick and sometimes uses a wheelchair due to pain in his right knee.

As far as I am concerned he has been impaired for years. Not my Pope.

On Ukraine's independence day, he mourned the death of Russian terrorist propagandist Darya Dugina, who called for the genocide of Ukrainians... What is the nature of the Kompromat that PedoPutin has on Francis?

So, whenever the archbishops get a wild hair? Bad move Francis.

Maybe time for a young pope. 🤔

Believing in God is an impairment

What is happening with the Catholic church? Popes used to serve for life. This will be the second one to retire in the last decade.

Uh oh. What does he have on Hillary?

Sitting between two cherubs as if your God I think you need to go ahead and do that now

How about in the event he's a pedo communist.....

He has always been impaired

he should probably stop kissing those dirty feet i would be worried too
