Pope Francis said he needed to slow down because he could no longer withstand the hectic schedule of international travels.


He disclosed this to journalists after a six-day Canada trip.


Pope Francis, who is suffering from knee pain, said he is considering stepping down due to his health issues.


“I don’t think I can go at the same pace as I used to travel.


“I think that at my age and with this knee limitation, I have to save myself a little bit to be able to serve the Church. Or, alternatively, to think about the possibility of stepping aside,” he said.
