00:06pontiff's death or resignation have grown more common. Some newspapers have even written
00:11about what to expect during the papal funeral. A few senior Catholic cardinals are openly
00:16talking about the possibility that Francis might resign, like his predecessor Benedict
00:21XVI. Signs from Rome's Germelli Hospital show that the Pope doesn't seem to plan on resigning
