Pope John Paul II has been taken to hospital in Rome after falling ill with influenza, Italian media have reported. The move is being described as a "precaution", Ansa news agency reported
The 84-year-old Polish-born pontiff came down with the virus on Sunday, and has cleared his schedule after advice from his doctors.
The Pope also suffers from Parkinson's disease and painful knee and joint conditions, but normally takes part in a hectic schedule of engagements.
Hi, mouss. There is a thread if you want to check the Breaking News sidebar. Prayers for the Pope.
I like the Pope. I pray for his immediate and full recovery. And May his joy be abundant, always.
The vatican is saying that the Pope has an "acute infection of the respiratory tract". Pneumonia?
