The 88-year-old pontiff had been battling a case of bronchitis since early February. He was taken to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on Friday for treatment and diagnostic tests, according to the Vatican.

Over the weekend, the Vatican reported that his health appeared “stable” and his fever had subsided. Then on Monday, the Vatican said new medical test results indicated that Francis has “a polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract.” According to medical research, such infections tend to be caused by a combination of viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites.

“Encourage world leaders, especially Christian governments, to prevent the continuation of aggressions made by the criminal Israeli regime,” Pezeshkian said, in what Fars described as a message to the Pope.

The message was delivered by an Iranian delegation participating in a religious dialogue event held in the Vatican, Iran’s government website said.

SINGAPORE (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis today told young people of different faiths that “every religion is a way to arrive at God.”

Addressing an inter-religious meeting of young people in Singapore just before departing for his return flight to Rome, Pope Francis turned to one of the central themes of his pontificate – inter-religious dialogue.

“One of the things that struck me about all of you here is your ability to engage in inter-religious dialogue, and this is very important,” he told the crowd, assembled in Singapore’s Catholic Junior College.

Notwithstanding any comments to the contrary, the Catholic Church has consistently and clearly taught that it is the only true Church, the Body of Christ (Eph 1:22), and it exercises the charge given by Christ to spread the Gospel to all nations and to bring souls into the Church (Mark 16).

The 87-year-old pontiff was speaking alongside Indonesia’s president Joko Widodo in a hall full of politicians at capital Jakarta’s presidential palace on Wednesday, when he drew smiles as he reignited the long-running debate over childless pet owners.

The Vatican leader said Indonesia set an example for other countries with dwindling birth rates.

He did it again!  Wouldn’t you have loved to be a fly on the wall when the pope said the unthinkable? There must have been pointy hats going in all directions.  Why are they so outraged?  You don’t suppose he hit them where they live?  It even sounds worse in Italian, and the pious cardinals were not amused. He apologized, and while his apology was being considered, he said it again!  The same term that made all the cardinals and priests apoplectic in the first place. This was to be the pope who finally broke the barrier and welcomed everybody, no matter how weird.

He was the one who “welcomed” them openly, catering to their perverse desire to be seen and accepted. Now he’s called them “frociaggine” to their faces. 

Europe is turning right.  Oh boy.  They were ahead of us with their “global warming” response. All their good ideas aren’t producing enough power, so they’ve had to return to destroying the planet.  Apparently Chinese battery cars are all the rage.  Will we keep them out with protectionism, or would somebody actually buy one?  

Putin has been showing up all over the far east.  He’s made deals with China, North Korea and Vietnam. Some have speculated that there will be North Koreans and possibly others fighting in Ukraine!  Maybe you don’t listen to Trump speeches, but I do. He claims he’ll have the Ukraine war ended even BEFORE he arrives at the White House.  We can only wonder.

So they convicted Hunter Biden on gun charges, and the media is trying to draw some moral equivalency to the “two felons”. Oh yeah, they’re exactly the same! (/s)  Trump doesn’t even drink alcohol because of his brother and perhaps other acquaintances. But the media is treating them as the same, FELONS. The only problem is, Trump’s case is going to get overturned, so they better enjoy themselves while they can. Hunter’s case? That’s a problem. But maybe the pretender is using this as a distraction.  After all he’s not on trial.  Hunter’s sentence will probably be commuted, despite all the talk. 

We plan to treat the immigration problem in the next issue of the magazine. I can’t stand to watch what’s going on with the border. Apparently we’ve declared ourselves completely unable to get a handle on it, or the administration has.  It just wouldn’t be fair, or some such nonsense. I cannot stand the explanations given by Mayorkas. My take is that it’s a former president’s solution for our prosperity. We don’t deserve a civilized existence, so bring in the third world! That ought to fix us.

Trump says we’re going to send all the illegals back where they came from in the biggest deportation in history.  Odds are that Biden won’t make it to the election, or far past.  The smart money is expecting Newsom to step in with everyone’s blessing, including the big guy’s.  What a good job he’s done with California.  We can’t wait for the whole country to have people living under bridges, camping wherever they please and trash everywhere.  Maybe that would make us feel better.

A document from the Vatican’s doctrinal office, which effectively reversed a declaration the same body had issued in 2021, said such blessings would not legitimise irregular situations but be a sign that God welcomes all.

It should in no way be confused with the sacrament of heterosexual marriage, it added.
