Summary
Pope Francis, 88, remains hospitalized in Rome due to a worsening respiratory infection, described by the Vatican as a “complex clinical picture.”
Admitted on Friday with bronchitis, he was diagnosed with a polymicrobial respiratory infection, requiring changes to his treatment.
The pope has struggled with health issues in recent years, including past hospitalizations for bronchitis and surgery.
It’s pretty much guaranteed that whenever Francis pops his clogs the next pope will be ultra right-wing. Francis has been shitty in many ways, but as modern popes go he’s been more on the tolerant side of things. That’s pissed off a bunch of hard-right cardinals. So the next one will almost certainly be an opus dei fascist. At that point many will probably be looking at Francis with a little bit more nostalgia.
Oh boy, I’m sure that’ll help with the extreme rise in right-wing ideology and leadership worldwide.
