(I was so disappointed in that final episode; disjointed, as well as blasphemous and raunchy.)

Francis’ “small surgery” on Sunday night at Gemelli hospital in Rome lasted five hours, and the two days planned in hospital are now seven.
He underwent a laparoscopic operation (minimally invasive surgery) under general anaesthesia but the medical team was forced to change to open surgery. Several centimetres of colon where removed which are tested for cancer. It’s not excluded that Francis now has an artificial excretory opening (ileostomy).
The official diagnosis was “diverticular stenosis” in the lower part of the colon. "Stenosis" refers to a narrowing of the intestine. "Diverticular" means a disease related to sacs that form from the wall of the large intestine.
If this is the problem, an older person gets back into shape after a month's convalescence. However, according to IlSismografo.Blogspot.com (July 7), Francis’ illness is “severe and degenerative” and could be lasting. Francis will “not be the same” anymore and will live “with many physical and physiological as well as metabolic limitations.”
He will have to undergo regular medical controls including other hospitalisations, and will have to change his life in terms of rest, nutrition, and physical rehabilitation.
The faithful will pray for his recovery and for his conversion, so that he will understand the enormous damage he has done to the Church and comes to his senses at the end of his life.
The Vatican has informed that no cancer was detected. A severe diverticular stenosis with signs of sclerosing diverticulitis was found.
ALTER — what is being altered? A dress?? This is a seamstress word.
You need to use the proper spelling — ALTAR.
Your need to provide proof for such outlandish statements. Where did you get that information? Hearsay?
It could only be an improvement.
So if Frank goes tits up, does the other guy came back?
Why? Did they perform an exorcism on him?
Some of the cardinals who participated in the last conclave in 2013 have died or become too old to vote, but they have been replaced by cardinals chosen by Pope Francis, so I am not hopeful about who might be chosen in the next conclave.
Sorry for the misspelling, I think spellcheck got me.
As to proof, I lived in Boston during the whole mess in the 1970s and knew a few former ALTAR boys who were affected.
Wouldn’t it be ironic if Francis passed before Benedict, who supposedly was replaced because of ill healthBenedict could be 16 going on 17 …
The Muslim community will be so sad to see him their nether kingdom> I wonder if he will get the 72 virgins promised or will it be the Jewish/Christian Hell.
So you're saying the doctors literally ripped him a new one.
Glad to see somebody had the nerve to do it.
It’s a COLOSTOMY, if they found it in the colon. Ileostomy would be for the small intestine. It’s possible they could stitch the ends where they removed part, if it was not too close to the rectum. There’s not much slack in the colon, though.
Amen to that. smh

And this is related to the pope’s syrgery how?
My point was that you can't believe much about what the Vatican, or most other large agencies, normally report.
What show was that?
Had a similar operation for bowel cancer on the NHS a few years ago. Tiny main scar and initially a few holes where they’d obviously put cameras and lights which later healed completely Amazing work! The surgeon even called my wife directly when I was out of the operating theatre.
