Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin conducted a rare interview with Corriere Della Sera in response to speculation and rumors of possible resignation. After the Vatican released an unusual and formal denial of Italian media reports, the report said Parolin and the pope’s chief canonists secretly visited Francis of the hospital. Such meetings have a lot of implications given the normative requirement to resign, but the Vatican frankly denies that any such meetings have occurred.

Parolin said that this speculation seemed “useless” when what really mattered was Francis’ health, his recovery and return to the Vatican.
