Francis: 'If I am assassinated I pray that it is painless'

[...]

"I'm a real scaredy cat when it comes to physical pain," the Pope said in the interview, which appeared on the front page of the newspaper, which is published in a Buenos Aires slum.

His candid comments were made in response to a question posed by Father Jose Maria "Pepe" di Paola about "fanatics who want to kill you"; the question was based on submissions from the residents of the slum, where Father Pepe serves as the local priest.

And it comes after the Iraqi ambassador to the Holy See last year warned the Vatican that the Islamic State (Isis) is intent on killing the Pope. 

Habeeb Al-Sadr, described the threats against the Pope as "credible".
