The Italian and world media are full of speculation and information still unconfirmed so far that Pope Francis is expected to resign following in the footsteps of Benedict. Everything happens after his health has deteriorated and he has been forced to move in a wheelchair in recent months.
These rumors were added last week when Francesco announced that he was finalizing appointments to the College of Cardinals, who then have the right to elect the new Pope. Everything is expected to end on August 27th.
The pope has also announced two important meetings to brief the cardinals on the changes made to the "Vatican Constitution" and these moves have been read by the local media as the last actions of a Pope before his departure.
