Sickly Pope Francis must relearn to speak after suffering breathing crisis as cardinal insists pontiff will not retire

POPE Francis has to relearn how to speak again following his battle with double pneumonia.

Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernandez gave an update on the Pontiff's condition as he remains at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, after suffering severe breathing problems and being placed on a ventilator.

Pope Francis has to ‘relearn to speak' as he starts to recover from double pneumonia

As Francis works to regain his strength and is said to be improving, the Cardinal confirmed that he will have to “relearn to speak”.

On Friday Fernandez said: “The Pope is doing very well, but high-flow oxygen dries everything out.

“He needs to relearn how to speak, but his overall physical condition is as it was before.”

The Cardinal also dismissed rumours of his retirement which have plagued the Holy See since the Pope's hospital admission on February 14.

When speaking at the presentation of a new book by Francis on poetry, Fernandez was asked about if the 88-year-old would step down, to which he said: “I really don't think so, no.”

“He could return, but the doctors want to be 100 per cent sure because he believes that with the little time he has left, he wants to dedicate himself entirely to others, not to himself,” he added.
