(Vatican City) — Pope Francis says he isn’t retiring, but is also admitting “the door is open.” In an interview with Univision, the 85-year-old said he would step aside if the time was right before he died while still serving, “if I survive.” Francis has been mostly using a wheelchair because of a knee problem for the past several months. This has fueled speculation he may retire.
