Just like his predecessor, Pope Benedict, Pope Francis may resign the papacy.
BBC reports that Pope Francis has suggested he may resign his papacy rather than remain at the Vatican for life.
Speaking to Mexican Television, Pope Francis reportedly said, ''I have the feeling that my pontificate will be brief. Four or five years; I do not know, even two or three''.
"I do not know. But I feel that the Lord has placed me here for a short time, and nothing more.But it is a feeling. I always leave the possibility open."
The Pope added that he loved being pope but missed the anonymity associated with life as a priest.
