International The Pope could be nearing the End of his Life.

I won't get into how much non-biblical sources matter as far as guidance, but suffice to say, the bible is very straight forward on faith versus works. All the stuff you mentioned flow from that, and everyone will fail at them to different degrees. Hence they aren't the requirement for heaven.

I can respect that.

Pope Francis now in a critical condition after respiratory crisis, Vatican says

The pontiff is in hospital for a complex lung infection and has been been given high flows of oxygen and blood transfusions

www.theguardian.com

The Vatican has said Pope Francis is in a critical condition after he suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis that required high flows of oxygen.

The Vatican said on Saturday that Francis has received blood transfusions after tests showed a condition associated with anaemia. The 88-year-old pope has been in hospital for a week with a complex lung infection

The statement said the 'Holy Father continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair although in more pain than yesterday. At the moment the prognosis is reserved.'

Doctors first diagnosed the complex viral, bacterial and fungal respiratory tract infection and then the onset of pneumonia in both lungs.

They prescribed 'absolute rest' and a combination of cortisone and antibiotics, along with supplemental oxygen when he needs it.

Dr Sergio Alfieri, the head of medicine and surgery at Gemelli hospital,

said the biggest threat facing Francis was that some of the germs that are located in his respiratory system pass into the bloodstream, causing sepsis. The illness can lead to organ failure and death.

“He knows he’s in danger,” Alfieri added. “And he told us to relay that.”

Jesus warned us against false idols. This may be the worst pope in history.

Oh yeah, definitely the worst out of almost 300 popes, which included more than a few adulterers, bloodthirsty dudes and otherwise rotten folks.

Embarrassing historical knowledge.

American Pope, incoming.

Didn't say ihe was the worst necessarily but may be the worst, he's certainly in the competition for me.

What other popes do you have as contenders for the worst?

 

[USA!USA!]

Not my cup of tea, but wish him the best. Interested to see who is next in line. Hopefully someone flexible who promotes positivity and unity. Lord knows we don't need any more rigidity and negativeness in the world.

 

[b-hop]

What other popes do you have as contenders for the worst?

Anyone other one who wanted to sold Europe to ottoman forces aka arab forces aka muslim forces,aka immigrants.. since to my knowledge no other tried to break down western civilization(the one who actually christianity belong to), this actively very few are in the competition.

So it sounds like you don't actually have any historical knowledge or curiosity since there are several popes who have bought/sold the position, committed adultery (ever wonder where the term pornocracy comes from?), had a hand in murder and mass bloodshed, etc.

Not to mention there are also several popes who had no religious training, experience, or background in the faith before ascending to the papacy.

Or the fact that Vatican City has been conquered more than once, including people who made themself pope after.

Also, lol at the idea that one of the precepts of Catholicism is resist migrants or protect Western civilization. Jesus, famed Western European, definitely would have approved.

Name one who wanted to bring muslim forces to Europe.. the ultimate sin betray of his own faith.

What does the bible say about bringing Muslims into Europe?

Pope Francis has 'initial, mild' kidney problem and still in critical condition, says Vatican

The update comes after the Pope released a message thanking people for their affection and asking for prayers.

news.sky.com

The Pope remains in a critical condition and is now showing an 'initial, mild' kidney problem - but is 'vigilant' and took part in Mass in hospital with those caring for him.

The Vatican statement said Francis hadn't had any more 'respiratory crises' since Saturday evening.

However, a problem with his kidneys has emerged, with blood tests showing 'an initial, mild, renal insufficiency, which is currently under control', according to the update.



The 88-year-old Pope is still having 'high-flow oxygen therapy' into his nose, while his haemoglobin value has increased after being given blood transfusions on Saturday.

The Pope has been at Rome's Gemelli hospital since the 14th of February and is being treated for double pneumonia and chronic bronchitis.

Sunday evening's statement said he was 'vigilant and well oriented', but due to the complexity of his case the prognosis is 'reserved'.

He was put on ice some time ago. Just like Ginsberg, they're holding off in hopes of identifying the optimal plug in.

Ah yes, everyone knows Popes are elected in an identical fashion to Supreme Court appointments. /s
