Francis, “I Don’t Go To The Doctor But To The Witch”

During Pope Francis' flight to Chile on January 15, Cristiana Caricato of the Italian Bishops' TV 2000 asked Francis, what medicines he takes to keep fit during his travels.

He replied, “I don't go to the doctor, I go to the witch.”

Franca Giansoldati of Il Messaggero asked him if he is afraid of journalists and their questions.
Francis answered, "Yes, I am afraid of interviews... you can see what I need to do."

Well, yes for example you asked him how he stays fit?? What kind of an answer is "I go to the Witch" it is inappropriate and it leads you to question, if the Pope does not want to speak then don't because it is obvious that he could care less what he says and who reacts.

On our first trip to Korea (2013) my husband had ear problems from the long flight so he went to a pharmacy in Seoul to buy some ear candles. The pharmacist said they don't sell them and he would need to go see a witch doctor. So what we call holistic medicine here in the West, they call witch or witch doctor.

Is it still a joke if something like that really happened (it did)?
