Pope Francis Asks God, If Assassination's Your Will, Let It Be Smooth: 'I'm a Scaredy Cat For Pain'

Amid talks of an ISIS threat against
Pope Francis, the pontiff says in an
interview with an Argentine magazine
released Tuesday that he has already prayed assassination.

"I have said to the Lord: take care of me. But if your will is that I should die or that they do something to me, I ask you one favor – that they don't hurt me, "Because I'm a real scaredy cat when it comes to physical pain."
