What happens when a Pope can no longer serve?

There's no rule to replace the Pope if he's incapacitated, as per Canon Law. Canon 335 states when the Holy See is "vacant or entirely impeded", nothing can be changed about the church's governance. A solution to this is for the Pope to resign. Earlier, Pope Francis confirmed he's written a resignation letter to be invoked if he's medically incapacitated.
