In the world of Europe, a question looms large – Would Pope Francis resign? Experts say it’s unlikely, but the pontiff often springs surprises. As the Catholic Church grapples with the possibility of another papal resignation after Benedict XVI shocked the world by stepping down, all eyes are on Pope Francis.

The speculation began swirling after the 88-year-old pope was hospitalized for pneumonia and put on a breathing machine. While some may wonder if his health could lead to a resignation, papal biographer Austen Ivereigh believes that only a long-term degenerative condition would prompt Francis to consider stepping down.

Resigning the papacy is not a decision to be taken lightly. Unlike other positions of power, the pope is considered the successor of St. Peter and is entrusted with a ministry given by Christ himself. However, as advancements in modern medicine have extended life expectancy, the idea of a pope resigning is no longer out of the realm of possibility.

The parallels with Benedict XVI’s resignation in 2013 are hard to ignore. The unexpected announcement sent shockwaves through the Vatican, and now, as Francis calls a consistory to consider sainthood candidates, speculation is rife about his future plans.

As the Catholic Church celebrates a year-long jubilee, the focus remains on whether Pope Francis will continue to lead the church. With his penchant for surprises and a commitment to discerning important decisions freely, the pontiff keeps everyone guessing.

Ultimately, the question of a papal resignation rests on the pope’s health and ability to fulfill his duties. While experts may say it’s unlikely, in the ever-evolving world of Europe, anything can happen. Stay tuned for the latest updates on this intriguing story.V
