Pope Francis almost stops breathing again with his health in serious decline

ope Francis is facing another terrifying health scare. The Vatican confirmed that the 88-year-old pontiff suffered two episodes of acute respiratory insufficiency this week, moments where his breathing nearly stopped entirely. Medical teams had to intervene, using non-invasive mechanical ventilation to help him breathe. This latest setback stems from the accumulation of mucus in his lungs, which doctors had to remove through bronchoscopies.

It’s hard to ignore the gravity of the situation. Pope Francis has been fighting double pneumonia since mid-February, and while there have been slight improvements, his condition is still precarious. The Vatican’s announcement makes it clear: while the pope’s respiratory function is being supported, the battle is far from over. He’s still relying on high-flow supplemental oxygen to maintain any semblance of stability.

I wish but I’ll bet we’ll get a Marxist like Peter Turkson of Ghana.

Perfect😎🤬🤮

What does a fictional gangster have to do with this?

One of my favorite Biblical Stories is the
Yea without sin cast the first stone, which is used to stifle judgement or criticism.

What is always left out of the conversation is what Jesus told the woman afterwards
“Go and sin no more”

Theu never want to talk about that part

ANTI pope. Jorge is not and has never been the legitimate Pope. People need to stop calling obvious evil, Pope.

[mairdie]

Very sorry about your father. Must have been tough on your whole family.

Is the Pope a Communist?

[RoosterRedux]

Thank you for that. It wasn't that tough. He was 94 and we all have to go eventually.

I was with him when he went and was encouraging him by being positive and upbeat. He was ready to go.

I was thinking about it this morning and felt a certain envy (being a Christian). I'm pretty excited about dying. Strange, eh?;-)

[napscoordinator]

They say perhaps tonight interrupting the president’s historic speech. Would not put it past this pope.

[napscoordinator]

I’m sure the pope is fine with dying. The media is not.

[mairdie]

Definitely strange. But viva la différence. Personally, I’m envious of my ex’s mother and current’s father, who both died in their sleep. Really hard on the spouse, though.

they’re treating him for pneumonia
but he’s got the boogie woogie flu

[delchiante]

It’s kept him from mouthing off about Trump and Vance, so there’s that..

[GingisK]

Use a pillow.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I will pray for the recovery of his soul.
For the recovery of our Church from his sole.

But for him?

[daniel1212]

Aside from the damnation of this lost soul, and the false gospel, etc. of Catholicism, I wonder if they keep such patients laying down, rather than the upper body elevated which I think would be far better for lungs in such a case. Of course, I am sure many Catholics would rather have Francis upside down.

No one should hope or celebrate anyone going to hell.

Instead, pray for his salvation.
