Pope admitted to Rome hospital for 'scheduled' colon surgery

In its statement, the Vatican said the pontiff needed treatment for "symptomatic diverticular stenosis" of the colon, part of the large intestine.

Diverticular disease is a condition that involves bulges in the wall of the large intestine. This can lead to a narrowing, of the colon.

Symptoms include bloating, recurrent abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits.

I seem to remember reading that Francis has been packing the College of Cardinals with men in his own image. So barring a miracle his replacement, and perhaps many after him, will be the same or worse.

Pray.

My father had this procedure and died of complications. If the Lord Jesus, in his mercy, allows this heretic to survive, or calls him home to relieve us of the trial that has been his pontificate, His will be done

Crohn’s?
Chronic diverticulitis - which if not treated can turn into peritonitis, which is pretty bad.

May the Pope be bless during this ordeal. I've been thru
a few colonoscopies myself. To me it was the prep that
was the most irritating time.

“Pope admitted to Rome hospital for ‘scheduled’ colon surgery”

Pope admitted to Rome hospital for ‘scheduled’ colon surgery to remove a “foreign” object.

I’ll leave it up to y’all to decide what or whom that could be.

This might help explain some of the hot stinky air the pope has been blowing up our rear ends since he began his escapade.
