Summary

Pope Francis experienced a critical asthmatic respiratory crisis, requiring oxygen and blood transfusions due to low platelets.

He remains alert but in more pain than the previous day.

      European universities started as church institutions doing 3 things - theology, philosophy and medicine. So no, he shouldn’t.

    As an ex-catholic myself I don’t like too much the Catholic church, but this dude wasn’t that bad comparing to all other Popes, don’t forget that millions of people listen and follows whatever he says. It would not be so funny if we get a nazi apologist Pope now, to be honest I hope he lives a bit more.

      That’s a fallacy, or a strawman, or a scarecrow, I can’t decide which of these.

      He’s already as bad as

      a nazi apologist Pope

      , just in small ways.

      Saying that he’s good because he’s not doing the Musk salute is similar to saying Putin is not a belligerent fascist dictator because he has elections and doesn’t have fascist ideology.

      They (Vatican) literally have a representative at dealing with oriental Catholic churches, that’d be Chaldean, Armenian Catholic etc churches. That representative is in practice as good as another ambassador to Azerbaijan. My paternal ancestors belonged to Armenian Catholic church, and as you understand something of historical value on that might be in Vatican or institutions\museums\whatever under its control.

      Yeah, but “better than the other popes” was a very low bar. This one had better words, but not so many better actions.

        I think the point being made is that if he dies you are very likely to get someone far worst in a time where things are already at the brink.

        Do you even know anything he’s done? He is by far the most progressive pope there has ever been.

    Funny how a man who claims to be the representative of God on Earth seems to be totally let down by the supernatural and entirely dependent on secular medicine for survival, like the rest of us. It’s almost as if he was nothing special at all…

      Not really. If you believe the teachings of Christianity, we were intentionally created as fallible and imperfect creatures, especially with the whole “leaving the garden of Eden” thing.

      You might also say that God created us with the ability and skills to perform and improve medicine.

      It’s not too late. He can still turn from his sin and accept Satan into his heart. Or more importantly, his lungs.

        According to one story of French philosopher Voltaire’s last words, his response to a priest at his deathbed urging him to renounce Satan was “Now is not the time for making new enemies.”

    This is very bad, lung diseases is just about the ONLY thing the Pope could die of. Because it makes it impossible for him to pray!!!
    Yes yes I know atheists say God usually responds with NO! anyway, but this is the Pope goddammit!! God wouldn’t say NO to the Pope…

    Would he?

        Buff

        It was an attempt at a joke on the fact that God doesn’t exist, which is why he tends to not answer prayers, which is similar to answering no.
        So obviously even the Pope will get a no too.

        But apparently I failed miserably.
