Pope Francis has acknowledged he may one day need to resign if serious health problems prohibit him from being able to run the church.
Francis said that while he has not considered resigning before now, he realises he has to at least slow down.
This penitential pilgrimage was difficult for Francis, and featured several moments when he was clearly in pain as he changed from seating to standing.

The Argentine pontiff strained his right knee ligaments earlier this year, and continuing laser and magnetic therapy forced him to cancel a trip to Africa that was scheduled for the first week of July’.‘I’ll try to continue to do the trips and be close to people because I think it’s a way of servicing, being close. But more than this, I can’t say.’
