Pope Francis Cancels Activities Due to ‘Persistent’ Flu
Breitbart ^ | 2-26-24 | THOMAS D. WILLIAMS, PH.D.

Posted on 02/26/2024 11:57:06 AM PST by dynachrome

Pope Francis canceled all his scheduled activities Monday for the second time in three days, with the Vatican citing a persistent flu as the cause.

“Mild flu-like symptoms persist without fever,” stated Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni in an email to journalists, adding that the day’s events were canceled “as a precaution.”

Bruni released a similar notification on Saturday morning, announcing the suspension of all papal activities because of a “mild seasonal flu.”

On Sunday, the 87-year-old pontiff appeared briefly at the window of the Apostolic Palace in the Vatican for his weekly Angelus address.

Last month, the pope attended a meeting in the Vatican with Catholic communicators from France but omitted reading his prepared text because, as he said, “I have a touch of bronchitis and I can’t speak very well.”

Time for some smoke signals over the Vatican. I imagine many true Catholics won’t say it, out load at least.

At that age, something is going to take you out.

When a prominent person who is up there in years drops out of sight because of "the flu", it's usually not long before they go slab surfing.

Peter Sellers, in one of his Pink Panther roles, kept
referring to the Pope as the Poop.

In those days I didn't believe that was respectful.

If he were to do it these days, it would actually
elevate Francis' status considerably.

Not only does he denigrate Catholicism by his current
actions, it flows out across Christianity at large in
some instances. He's an utter fool.

I pray that he has the chance to repent, and repudiate his heresies, before he dies.

Can we treat him to a redux of the Corpse Synod? Hopefully we’ll have the opportunity soon

If you're asking my permission, yes, please do, by all means.

I only ask not to forget to throw his charred remains into the Tiber, for ol' times' sake!
