Speaking to Argentine television, the woman, who has so far only been identified as Amalia, said the young Jorge Mario Bergoglio had told her "if I can't marry you, I'll become a priest."

Speaking from her home in Flores, an emotional Amalia said that the "romance" with the future Pope Francis did not prosper because of the opposition of her parents.

"When we were young, he wrote me a letter and I didn't reply to him. What I wanted was for him to disappear from the map. My father had hit me because I had dared to write a note to a boy.

"He had drawn for me (in the letter) a house which had a red roof and said that it was the house he was going to buy for me when we were married.

"I never saw him after that - my parents kept me away from him and did everything possible to separate us," she said.

Amalia added: "I have nothing to hide, as it was a thing between children and totally pure.

"I think he asked me to marry him because he wanted to follow the example he had seen at home and form a family."

"In love? At that age, I didn't know love - I only knew love when I was much older. I was just a little thing," she said.
