Rome — Pope Francis' respiratory tract infection is presenting a "complex clinical picture" that will require further hospitalization, the Vatican said Monday as concern grew about the increasingly frail health of the 88-year-old pontiff.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the results of tests conducted in recent days and Monday indicate the pope is suffering from a "polymicrobial respiratory tract infection" that has necessitated a further change in his drug therapy.

There was no timeframe given for his hospitalization, which has already sidelined him for longer than a 2023 hospitalization for pneumonia. Bruni said the complexity of his symptoms "will require an appropriate hospital stay."

That does not sound good.

Prayers for his recovery and that the Holy Siri’s will visit and relieve him. I don’t particularly care for him or his Peronista notions, but it is my duty to pray for him (and try to be sincere about it).

ANTI Pope. Praying for his soul but also praying he never returns to continue his attempted destruction of the Church.

We can, and many do, pray for his timely reversion to the one true faith.

I use Siri sometimes, but I wouldn’t go so far as calling it “Holy Siri’s”

(I know — bad spell check for Holy Spirit)

I pray for his conversion since I think he is a unbeliever.

He has taken me away from my faith. Still a Christian, so I pray for him.

Exactly

“polymicrobial respiratory tract infection”

he has Pneumonia again.

Probably the most destructive pope since who knows. I only knew back to Pope John Paul II since grade school to my adult years, to me as a catholic at the time he was impressive. I remember when he got elected awaiting it on TV.

I actually was in his audience in the Vatican City in Rome in the Jubilee year of 2000. I will not for get that or my time in Italy. I’d love to go back but I think the way the EU is heading I’m sure I would be disapointed.

Re: "Pope Francis - a complex clinical picture"

You might say the same thing about his religious philosophy.

Maybe the next one, if there is one, will be a Catholic.
