Pope Francis to stay in hospital because of ‘complex clinical picture’
Vatican statement says pontiff, 88, is being treated for a polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract
Summary
Pope Francis, 88, remains hospitalized in Rome due to a worsening respiratory infection, described by the Vatican as a “complex clinical picture.”
Admitted on Friday with bronchitis, he was diagnosed with a polymicrobial respiratory infection, requiring changes to his treatment.
The pope has struggled with health issues in recent years, including past hospitalizations for bronchitis and surgery.
It's pretty much guaranteed that whenever Francis pops his clogs the next pope will be ultra right-wing. Francis has been shitty in many ways, but as modern popes go he's been more on the tolerant side of things. That's pissed off a bunch of hard-right cardinals. So the next one will almost certainly be an opus dei fascist. At that point many will probably be looking at Francis with a little bit more nostalgia.
Oh boy, I'm sure that'll help with the extreme rise in right-wing ideology and leadership worldwide.
He's not tolarant or nice. He's the spokesperson for the biggest pedo ring on the planet. They had to find a "nice guy" because the days of blind religios followers is dwindling.
A) I said he's "been shitty in many ways".
B) I didn't use the term "nice". So don't misquote me please.
C) I said "he's been more on the tolerant side of things". Which is true compared to the likes of Benedict and other popes. It's a sliding scale, and that doesn't mean he's been super tolerant and inclusive overall. But he has been slightly more tolerant than his predecessors. Casting all popes as being equally evil is myopic and not realistic.
D) You've missed my main point (either on purpose or accidentally), that the next pope will be worse than Francis. If an opus dei supporting cardinal gets the job the level of hatred and intolerance coming from Rome will be on a new level. And people - especially those who are impacted by the Catholic Church in any way - should prepared for that.
Should've prayed harder.
That's all gods' plans.
He is 88, i think he prayed hard enough
Reminder that this guy was a right wing, homophobic windbag long before he was pope and the Vatican PR department started making look like a saint. He does nothing but spew hollow, PR written platitudes and says a lot of nice things without backing them up with actions. He still denies meetings with rape victims of his clergy, still stone walls them with lawyers, still shuffling around pedo priests to hide them. He’s as evil as any pope that has come before
Sooo... black smoke in 3-2-1?
Interesting bit of trivia for anyone interested in such things:
In 1595, a "prophecy" was published claiming to predict all the Popes through the end times.

Benedict was the last one on the list. So we're in uncharted territory until "Peter the Roman" ends it all by destroying Rome.
Not for nothing but the movie Conclave is fantastic and a useful primer of how the process we're likely to witness fairly soon actually works.
I'm old enough to remember Pope John Paul I -> Oops. 33 days later... "Didn't we just do this?" John Paul II.
For a crash course, you can watch the Vatican segment of Eurotrip, it's in the last 20 minutes or so, iirc.
until “Peter the Roman” ends it all by destroying Rome
Maybe he'll meet an antipope and they'll both suddenly be annihilated in a huge explosion?
Pope vs. Anti-Pope is always mixed at a 1:1 ratio.
Not a good name for a guy who destroys Rome. Maybe Peter the Ex-Roman.
No Satan, the other old white guy. Comeback for this one later.
Can't wait until Trump tries to install the next Pope.
You mean say he is the next pope. And that president musk is super pope.
He'll probably try to push Vance as the next pope. He's Catholic and a complete waste of space right now. And I'm sure JD would like to get intimate with a tabernacle.
Google will agree to change the name of the Holy See to the Holy See How Smart Trump Is.
He'll just rewrite the Bible and call himself king on the cover.
One of the wealthiest men in the world claiming to represent Jesus Christ, Who didn't have so much as a pillow to sleep on... Catholics really need to start reading their Bibles.
He literally comes from an order that does that shit, what are you on about.
I've never personally come across a religion that is more opposite to the teachings of Jesus Christ.
I was shocked to see him on the news a few days ago, he looks like a different person now
he will soon never freeze again.
I hope he is in agony.
Too bad mother Theresa is rotting in hell instead of treating him.
Ooh I like that idea.
Step 1-Take him to the trash pile. Send all of the next candidates there as well. (Read-kill all the religious that are there)
Step 2- Raid the Vatican and take the proceeds where you wish.
Step 3- ???
Step 4- Enjoy a slightly better world.
Fuck you pope. I wish he'll was real for you, I really do. Your existence is a cancer.
Bye bitch
So edgy 🤣
Fuuuuuck catholicism. Fuck all religious leaders, really, but they have probably caused more damage than all the others combined, so fuck them in particular.
Who are you telling to do this on your behalf? Or are you going to face the Swiss Guard yourself?
I dunno, a magic genie. This is just wishes man.
