MSNBC just mentioned a 4:30 et briefing from the Vatican. No word on content, but they did use the word 'briefing.'
"Briefing" -- I like that word.
Beats "announcement."
7:30 a.m. Holy Mass was celebrated in presence of the Pope. His Holiness' condition has remained basically the same, some loss of consciousness. Not in a coma, but fades in and out of alertness.
Spokesperson related Pope's words for the young people. "I have looked for you, now you have come to me. Now I thank you."
Other close members of the Pope's immediate staff come and go into the Pope's room. Per Mr. Navaro (sp?)Next announcement at approx. 5:30 p.m., unless there is something otherwise to communicate.
