A woman identified as Amalia has claimed that Pope Francis devoted his life to God after she rejected his marriage proposal when they were both 12 years old.

Speaking from her home in Flores, Buenos Aires, she revealed that the young Jorge Mario Bergoglio, now known as Pope Francis, had expressed his love for her but was forced to abandon his hopes of marriage due to parental opposition, Guardian UK reported.

She told The Telegraph that Bergoglio had dramatically declared, "If I can't marry you, I'll become a priest." Her decision not to respond to his letter led to the romance fading away, as her father had reprimanded her for communicating with a boy.
