“Pope Francis postponed a series of meetings because of a lung inflammation and breathing difficulties, the Vatican said Monday morning.”

Could God be listening to our prayers?

Prayers up for Pope Francis. Perhaps his continued health problems will lead him to consider retiring.

Rumors are swirling that the next in line for pope might be an Archbishop who has been passed over a number of times - Archbishop Secola.
