Zsa Zsa's leg 884 Posted March 18 In an article from Judge Andrew Napolitano, who recently met the Pope. “The Pope is in poor health, can barely speak or walk; and he radiates sadness. I was thrilled to reside in his home for four days, but I don't think he'll be there much longer.” 10 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WEP 888 Posted March 30 The last pope who died in office, died shortly AFTER Easter holidays. His successor resigned shortly BEFORE Easter holidays. So, what about a pope dying ON an Easter holiday... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sod's Law 443 Posted March 30 It feels like one of those situations where he will rally around and seem to get over his recent health worries and then drop dead when everyone leasts expects it. My grandad was in chronic bad health related to his heart problems for the last three years of his life but after his last heart surgery a few months before he died he really seemed like the fittest and healthiest he'd been in years. The end was really sudden when it came and I can see Francis going through something similar. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
