"Still alive." With these words, Pope Francis, in the interview with Fabio Fazio on Che Tempo Che Fa on Nove, responded to the presenter 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 the Popes. But at the moment it is not at the center of my thoughts", "as long as I feel I am serving, I will go on", if the condition changes "it will be necessary to think about it", the Pope added.

"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 and sisters, self-destructing one another."
