Pope acknowledges health problems and backlash, but says he isn't going anywhere in new memoir
Fox News
Pope Francis released an autobiography entitled “Life: My Story Through History," which is being published on March 19, the eleventh anniversary of his installation as pope.
In the memoir, written with Italian journalist Fabio Marchese Ragona, Francis traces key moments of his life and their intersection with world events (World War II, Argentina’s military dictatorship and Vatican intrigue) and how they together inform his priorities as pope.
Significantly, he addresses recurring speculation about his health problems, criticism from conservatives and what both may mean for the future of his pontificate. Such questions have always surrounded the papacy but the prospect of a papal resignation only became a reality with the late Pope Benedict XVI 's historic 2013 retirement.
