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.

    “This pope is the best so far but he’s still imperfect for [reasons]. And so [impolite wishes for him to suffer]”

    Watch people proclaim how they misunderstand how Perfection steals joy from Better, and how it kills efforts for incremental improvement.

    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.

      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.

    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.
