text: Pope Francis discussed the topic of his own death apparently for the first time Monday, saying God may give him "two or three years," though he might retire before then.
Speaking to reporters on the papal plane Monday to the Vatican from South Korea, Pope Francis, 77, addressed a question about his global popularity and said, "I see it as the generosity of the people of God. I try to think of my sins, my mistakes, not to become proud. Because I know it will last only a short time. Two or three years and then I'll be off to the Father's House."
