Act, the Pope was making a joke with reporters about his health, the stress of the job, and the possibility of him retiring. He just has small problems here and there. The Vatican doctors say for being 77 years old and having one lung, he's actually pretty healthy.You just have to scoop out different sources for the full story. I think he has at least a good 5 years left, God willing. Most popes average about an eight year papacy.

If I were you it'd wait for the Vatican to release the offical transcript of the interview or wait for the Pope's spokesperson, Fr. Federico Lombardi, to issue a statement before trusting one random source that might have limited info.I know it's also good to worry about Santa Padre, I'm just helping you in the future when you make these posts. I'm pretty well rounded when it comes to Vatican news reporting so if you ever need help deciphering secular media, just ask me. I'll help you out.
