Pope Francis remains in critical condition after he experienced a severe asthmatic respiratory crisis this morning requiring high-flow oxygen therapy, according to a Vatican update released Saturday.

“The Holy Father’s condition continues to be critical, therefore, as explained yesterday, the Pope is not out of danger,” the Vatican’s statement said.

The Vatican said the prognosis remains “reserved,” indicating a cautious outlook as medical teams continue to stabilize his condition.

We kinda guessed that.

I see smoke in our future.

I guess the picks are out already.

[Jane Long]

This guy’s getting worse, by the minute, it seems.

[Yossarian]

Dear God-

I pray that:
- Bergoglio’s health recovers,
- he repents of his sins (as we all should), and
- that he removes himself from any leadership role of any religion.’

Thy will be done!

[spincaster]

God figures ,he has done enough damage.

I’m going to be polite and not say what I’m thinking.

Sort of contradictory. Not in danger of death yet but now is critical. ????

Not going to miss this guy.

Mercy. Hopefully the college of cardinals will be smarter next time around.

[Obadiah]

Pope Frankie is about to meet his Maker. The truth will now be revealed to him.

God says that the Popester doesn't fit in Trump's world.

Time to return to Satan, Frankie.

That’s what the dying tend to do.

A friend’s mother had this.

She died after less than a day in hospice.

He’s not going to make it.

Satan is calling his dirty communist home to hell.
