Asthmatic respiratory crisis indicates the pope struggled to maintain a sufficient oxygen level when breathing on his own, according to medical experts.

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.

    While I do not disagree with you I think you missed my point. Like it or not, when he dies we will have another Pope, and I can bet money that the church is going to take the opportunity of the current trend to put a Pope that literally does the “Musk salute” and keep pushing their agenda… and like I said millions of people care a lot about what the Pope has to say. The last thing we need right now is a Pope that openly and aggressively supports far right governments in his speech.

      I’d weigh this variant you fear same or less as a Pope who is saying all kinds of things for sufficient sums of money from all kinds of governments, maybe not limited to governments.

      Which would be similar to Francis, but Francis is dangerous in being subtle.
