(Rome) Pope Francis stumbled for the second time within three days. Therefore there are concerns about the health of the head of the Catholic Church in Rome.
Pope Francis showed considerable difficulty in climbing steps ascending St. Peter's Basilica in the past few days. The same applies to the steps that lead up to the Patriarchal Basilica of St. John Lateran to the papal altar. There are only a few steps, but the Pope stumbled twice within a few days and would have fallen if he had not been immediately supported by his companions, including the papal master of ceremonies Msgr. Guido Marini.
The health of Pope Francis is a reason of concern among his closest assistants. The complaints have remained hidden but not to the public, because the two events took place in public. Maybe it's just a momentary weakness, or the interaction of unfortunate coincidences. In Rome, however, there is also speculation about the signs of declining health.
The first incident took place last Saturday in an audience for members of the Italian welfare institution INPS and their family members. The Pope stumbled before the eyes of 23,000 people on the steps of St. Peter's Square, leading up to St. Peter's Basilica.
The incident repeated itself when yesterday, Monday, in St. John Lateran Basilica, when Pope Francis wanted to ascend the steps and climb up to the altar, where he consecrated his new Auxiliary Bishop of Rome, Msgr. Angelo de Donati.
Only two weeks ago the Vatican had vigorously rejected media reports that a specialist had been consulted about brain tumor and found a benign tumor, which is supposed to be able to be cured without surgery.
This coming December 16th, the Church leader celebrates his 79th birthday.
Just days ago, Archbishop Georg Gänswein had assured to media that Benedict XVI. was "mentally well."
With all the requirements given, and soon three years after his unusual resignation, he could guide the Church today.

"…he could guide the Church today." He could?
ReplyDeleteThe damage is done and it goes back to a virus injected into the Church long before Francis. If Pope Francis were to die tonight or live to be 100, the sick heresy of modernism and the revolutionary overthrow it had at Vatican II is the reason that Francis is the way he is; the reason that things are the way they are; and the reason things will continue in the direction they are going.
ReplyDeleteIt's the moral and spiritual health that matters for his own good and the good of the countless lost or scandalised souls that he may affect. Not to mention the objective worship and obedience owed to Almighty God.
ReplyDeleteHope he repents for his scandalous life in the left over life ,in the world,
ReplyDeletebefore he dies. May God have mercy on him ;,who knows before he dies he may turn to Jesus like the thief on Calvary and save his soul.
In the near future,by 2017 , there may be signs in the world that may bring him on his knees.
Amen.
DeleteI hope that he dies the death of Arius if he will not to repent of his reckless course while he still has time, so as to warn those who follow him that God will not be mocked. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI would not be surprised if Francis is dead by 2017. He often looks unwell.
ReplyDeleteIsn't there an old tale that the :anti-Christ" would cause tremendous damage to the Church, but that his reign would be only a little over three years? And not 5-10 or more?
I suppose it is a sin (and I never thought I would think this of a Pope), but I hope Francis is gone and we have a new, youngish, and orthodox tradition minded Pope in 2-3 years who will have the long task of recovering the Church from the wreckage of Francis and company.
Francis will be dead, and his associates like Bras de Aviz, Forte, Carballo, etc. will be exiled to Siberia.

I feel the same as you, have to catch myself thinking how I wish this evil wretch would just keel over and die instead of leading souls to hell.
DeleteYou know how we are supposed to pray that traditional prayer "that the enemies of the pope be confounded", well, there is no way I can in good conscience pray that holy men such as of Pell, Sarah etc be confounded.
What a wicked time this is.
