Pope Francis believes 'papacy is for life,' says historian-biographer
Fox News
As Pope Francis remains hospitalized for his current health crisis, author and papal historian Austen Ivereigh is dispelling rumors of a possible resignation by the Catholic Church's leader.
"He's spoken various times about this," Ivereigh told Fox News in an interview. "He's saying that for him, the papacy is for life." "There's an anxiety. There's a sense of uncertainty." Pope Francis has not stopped working, although his frail condition requires that he move a bit slower. Lauren Green currently serves as Fox News Channel's (FNC) chief religion correspondent based in the New York bureau. She joined FNC in 1996. Her new book is "Lighthouse Faith: God as a Living Reality in a World Immersed in Fog." She is host of Fox News Digital's "Spirited Debate."
"It's really important in a world where there's a kind of cult of health and youth," added Ivereigh, "that we say, ‘No, there is a mission that God gives you, which is for life.’"
