    Yeah when I heard he was in early stages of kidney failure, I knew he was basically a walking corpse. You don’t get better from that at such an advanced age. No matter how much the media tries to make it seem like mild improvements are actually meaningful, nor how much the Catholic faithful pray for his recovery, the Pope is on borrowed time.

    Have you seen the guy lately? Reminds me of the death of pope Alexander vi (Rodrigo Borgia)

    He was bloating, and decomposing before he was even dead. Then his body turned into a big gas ballon bursting at the seams after he died and had to be unceremoniously tossed in a quick grave.

    This pope is looking like a decomposing gas ballon already. Protecting pedophiles and running one of the biggest rackets in history must really decompose you

    I get the point, but Catholics aren’t typically anti-medicine (some are, but it isn’t dogma.) They celebrate unexpected recoveries, but we all do.

    Catholicism sucks, but not for being anti-medicine.

    I was raised catholic, live in a very catholic country and I can guarantee you that most Catholics are not anti-science. I’d say most Catholics are in fact agnostics who go to church just in case there really is a hell.

    Kind of insulting to Jesus by putting his life in the hands of trained medical professionals. They use the Devils magic, aka science.

      It’s only devils magic if it doesn’t benefit them personally. Someone’s life was saved with a abortion? That’s a sin. Someone wants to save other lives with cells gathered from an aborted fetus? That’s a sin. But if the research of the stem cells created a new medicine that will save their life? That’s a miracle!
