POPE Francis cancelled events for the second day in a row today after falling ill.

The Vatican said the 83-year-old pontiff had decided not to go ahead with official audiences after he skipped a church service yesterday.

It comes as Italy is reeling from a worsening coronavirus outbreak which has so infected more than 500 people and caused 17 deaths.

The Vatican declined to say whether the Pope will be tested for the virus.

Might be an even better time to have a public confession and come clean on the ills of the church, the damage he’s covered up for predatory homosexual priests, among other things. Confess his sins to all of us. Apologize before he dies.

I read a while back that he has been building up the cardinals with liberal types similar to himself. So the next in line comes from that body of Cardinals and I think we can expect the next one to be even worse than he is.

You may not be far off.
I’m always contemplating world events and how/if/why and what not, fit into biblical prophecy.
Those who believe know the big picture and events/things that are supposed to happen leading up to it.
Question, how/does Trump fit said puzzle? His actions seem to be an obstacle to what’s laid out in what’s prophesied to take place, quite the opposite. Or is it?
The first of the four horsemen of the apocalypse ;
Then I saw when the Lamb broke one of the seven seals, and I heard one of the four living creatures saying as with a voice of thunder, “Come.” I looked, and behold, a white horse, and he who sat on it had a bow; and a crown was give”n to him, and he went out conquering and to conquer.
Trump has definitely been doing exactly what is described as the first rider. Further, “Rider on the white horse” is literally 1 letter from White House.
The second horseman is War, but the third horseman is disease and pestilence.

JUST SAYIN’’!

There would be a bit of schadenfreude if the Pope bit it from this virus.

Just saying.

The Ambassador was an Ex.
However, that is not to say Pope didn’t meet with some Iranians who clearly have the disease.

It took out an important person...Not sure that person was one to go walk around the general populace. So it would be interesting to see how he got it.

“Maybe he could call for audience with Harry & Meghan?

Why let a virus go to waste”.

You sound like the Democrat on Fox saying he hoped President Trump would come down with the virus.

Benedict is the actual pope, no need to “come out of retirement”.

Not good judgment on the Pope’s part.

Yep- I think he’s just gotten a normal winter bug of some sort. At this point everything is being viewed through the virus lens- either we’re all going to die or this is nothing, carry on. It’s taken about a week for the virus to become fully politically infected.

And if he is positive...he better not be going around people spreading it......

That ship has sailed if he tested positive.

“Sweeps Italy” is a small tiny bit over the top.

I wouldn’t say he was a deep thinker, unless you mean “deep state” type of thinking!
