Prayers for the Pope

Double pneumonia...my prayers also.

I didn't realize he is 88. At that age it is difficult to overcome certain conditions. They often cause other issues.

Rumors are that resigning is being discussed; even if he recovers from this, he is going to be almost an invalid.

Well, and, to me as a Catholic, I'm hopeful that he will be healed, but, if not, it's common for popes to be called home while being Pope.

Time to look to retirement.

Pack it up.

Church needs someone who can hold the seat for 20+ years.

Should be an interesting conclave.

 

[Reverend Conehead]

Prayers going out to the Pope. I'm hoping he can kick this.

I'm not Roman Catholic but hopefully the next one is more like John Paul II and less like Frances.
