"I am still alive". Pope Francis, during the interview given to Fabio Fazio on Che Tempo Che Fa sul Nove, responded to the host who asked him how he was.
As for the possible resignation «it is not a thought nor a concern nor a desire but a possibility open to all Popes. But at the moment it is not at the center of my thoughts."
"As long as I feel like serving I will continue", added the Pontiff, if the condition changes "we will have to think about it".
Francis also dedicated a thought to the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip, where the Israeli army is raging against the Palestinians: «Every day I call the parish in Gaza and they tell me the terrible things that are happening. How many dead Arabs and how many dead Israelis, two peoples called to be brothers are self-destructing each other."
