Vatican: Argentina car crash kills papal relatives

ROME - Pope Francis was grieving the loss of three family members in a traffic accident in Argentina on Tuesday. A Vatican spokesman confirmed to NBC News that the pope's niece and two great nephews had died. Father Federico Lombardi said "the pope has been informed and he is painfully sorry," adding that the pontiff asked for prayers.

The news - which was first reported by Agence France-Presse - came a day after the 77-year-old pope joked that he might die soon or follow in Benedict XVI's footsteps and resign the papacy. When asked Monday about his immense popularity, Francis said "this will last a short time, two or three years, and then to the house of the Father."

I thought this auto accident happened awhile ago?

This quote has me concerned:
