Pope Francis says his predecessor as pontiff is having trouble getting around, but remains sharp of mind and memory. The remarks about Emeritus Pope Benedict XVI come in an interview published Sunday by La Nacion, a major newspaper in Francis' native Argentina. The pope says the 89-year-old Benedict "has problems moving around, but his head and memory are intact, perfect." Francis also says his predecessor "is a revolutionary" for abdicating in 2013. The pope also seems to gripe about church conservatives, saying "They say no to everything."
