Pope Now in Critical Condition

 He could die any day.  It’s prophetic since the new Pope could certainly be on earth to serve as the False Prophet during the Great Tribulation.

*************

Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for more than a week, remains in “critical” condition and developed an “asthmatic respiratory crisis” earlier on Saturday, the Vatican said in a statement.

“This morning Pope Francis presented with an asthmatic respiratory crisis of prolonged magnitude, which also required the application of oxygen at high flows,” the Vatican wrote about the ailing pontiff who is being treated for pneumonia.

While Francis “continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair” he is “in more pain than yesterday,” it added.

He also received blood transfusions today to treat anemia, according to the statement.

Earlier on Saturday, the Vatican said he would remain in hospitalized following his pneumonia diagnosis and will not deliver the weekly Angelus prayer – for only the third time in his almost 12-year-long papacy.

The pope’s condition had seemed more promising earlier in the week, with the Vatican describing him as responding “positively” to medical treatment for pneumonia on Thursday.

“Is the pope out of danger? No. Both doors are open. Is he at risk of immediate death? No. The therapy needs time to work,” said Sergio Alfieri, a surgeon who has previously operated on the pope, to reporters on Friday.
