Pope wanted tequila as a painkiller for knee problems

Pope wanted tequila as a painkiller for knee problems

The Pope wants a glass of tequila for his aching knee. This statement by Francis after the canonization mass last Sunday in Rome is now going viral on social networks, Kathpress reported. In a video recorded by a Mexican seminarian, he asks the pope how his knee is doing. “Do you know what I need for my leg? A bit of tequila!” the 85-year-old pontiff joked back in a good mood.

When the seminarians offered to bring a bottle of the Mexican liquor to the Santa Marta Guest House, the Catholic Church leader began to laugh. Pope Francis has been suffering from severe knee problems for months and took it easy on medical advice for a long time. At the canonization mass on St. Peter’s Square, he seemed more mobile for the first time in weeks and walked a few steps before taking a seat on the popemobile.
