Pope Francis has announced that he will spend the end of his life in Rome.
According to the British Guardian and AFP news agency, in a new publication titled ``Health of the Popes'' on the 27th local time in the Argentine daily ``La Nazion'', Pope Francis made a meeting with Nelson Castro, an Argentine journalist and doctor at the Vatican in February 2019. The interview was published.
In an interview, Pope Francis replied, "I will be present or honorary as Pope" to the question, "How will I spend the last days of my life," and "I will not return to Argentina, but in Rome."
Pope Francis has said that he has never visited his homeland since he was crowned in 2013, but he does not particularly miss Argentina, where he was born and raised.
Pope Francis said, "I have lived in Argentina for 76 years, and my heart hurts because of the problems there."
This can be interpreted as a remark with the economic crisis in mind, such as the unemployment rate and inflation rate experienced by Argentina.
Pope Francis is known to have suffered extreme fear and stress in the process of hiding priests, seminarians, and dissidents in his seminary in the 1970s during the Argentine military dictatorship and helping them escape abroad.
Pope Francis, 84, completed a second dose of the Corona 19 vaccine earlier this month.
