I suspect he is not long for this earth.
I heard an early morning news blurb saying that the congestion in his lungs had cleared up.
88 year old with double pneumonia. Tough situation, but prayers for his recovery.
And when it's time to select a new Pope, PLEASE DO NOT give us another liberal Jesuit! Dominican or Franciscan only please!
Prayers for his recovery. Double pneumonia at 88 years of age is bad news for anyone.
Daily Pope Report
Health is improving per this report
That is good news.
This old baptist boy from Kentucky still has him in my prayers.
I'm not Catholic, but he has impressed me as being a very good Pontiff, one of the more consistently thoughtful it would seem. I hope he serves many more years.
Here is where I part ways with you, CBBN. This Pope has been a screaming liberal and been going against traditional Catholic doctrine in many ways. Why? Because he's a Jesuit, whose Order is known to be extreme left-wing since the beginnings of their Order in the Church.Quote:

Oh, I don't follow it closely enough to have a valid opinion, I freely admit it. I'm not Catholic, he seems sincere, and yes I have disagreed with some of his views (the few I follow), but other Popes seem as much political as anything else.Quote:

John Paul II was closely associated with the Dominicans. He was IMHO the best Pope of my lifetime and during his papace he did a lot to reign in the teachings of the Jesuits. There have not been many Dominican popes, but you are spot on with your opinionQuote:

We need a Papal Bracket Challenge!

Monday Pope Report
One of those issues that my Mother in my head reminds me that I have nothing to say.
Pope Francis now 'out of danger from death' as health condition continues to improve

Very good news
Pope Francis set to be discharged from hospital on Sunday: doctors
More good news
I saw on the news this morning, the Pope is back at home resting comfortably. Not surprised with 1.1 billion people on the prayer wagon.(minus those with differences of opinions with the Pope)

It will take some time for him to recover. I read where his doctors said he'll need two months of rest before he should be active again. My FIL is a very healthy, active nearly 94-year old (still drives, lives by himself, gardens, etc.). But he was in the hospital for a few days a couple of months ago and it took weeks and weeks to recover (then went back in the hospital recently, but that's another story). I would think being in the hospital for that serious of illness for that long would take a large toll and a long time to recover for sure.
Passed this morning, day after Easter.
May he RIP.Quote:

It’s a sad day. He was a good one.
