Pope Francis said Saturday he needed to slow down, telling
reporters after a six-day Canada trip he could no longer maintain his hectic
international travel schedule — while acknowledging he could also retire.
“I don’t think I can go at the same pace as I used to travel,” the 85-year-old pope, who is suffering from knee pain and relied on a wheelchair during his Canada visit, told reporters on his papal plane.
“I think that at my
age and with this (knee) limitation, I have to save myself a little bit to be
able to serve the Church. Or, alternatively, to think about the possibility of
stepping aside,” he added.
