Summary

Pope Francis, 88, remains hospitalized in Rome due to a worsening respiratory infection, described by the Vatican as a “complex clinical picture.”

Admitted on Friday with bronchitis, he was diagnosed with a polymicrobial respiratory infection, requiring changes to his treatment.

The pope has struggled with health issues in recent years, including past hospitalizations for bronchitis and surgery.

    He’s not tolarant or nice. He’s the spokesperson for the biggest pedo ring on the planet. They had to find a “nice guy” because the days of blind religios followers is dwindling.

      A) I said he’s “been shitty in many ways”.

      B) I didn’t use the term “nice”. So don’t misquote me please.

      C) I said “he’s been more on the tolerant side of things”. Which is true compared to the likes of Benedict and other popes. It’s a sliding scale, and that doesn’t mean he’s been super tolerant and inclusive overall. But he has been slightly more tolerant than his predecessors. Casting all popes as being equally evil is myopic and not realistic.

      D) You’ve missed my main point (either on purpose or accidentally), that the next pope will be worse than Francis. If an opus dei supporting cardinal gets the job the level of hatred and intolerance coming from Rome will be on a new level. And people - especially those who are impacted by the Catholic Church in any way - should prepared for that.
