Pope Francis expects to remain pontiff until his death

In a new book, Francis says he expects to die in Rome, not his native Argentina, either as active or emeritus' pope

Pope Francis expects to die in Rome, still the Catholic pontiff, without returning to spend his final days in his native Argentina, according to a new book titled The Health of Popes.

In an interview granted to Argentinian journalist and physician Nelson Castro at the Vatican in February 2019, the pope said he thinks about death, but does not fear it.
