ORIGINAL POST OF FEBRUARY 22
The head of the Vatican II Church, Jorge Bergoglio (‘Pope Francis’), has been in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital since Feb. 14, and this time his condition is serious enough to think he may not leave the Gemelli alive. What began as bronchitis turned into bilateral pneumonia, and now further serious complications have emerged.
The Vatican’s morning update for Feb. 22 consisted of only five words: “Pope Francis has rested well.” Whereas in prior days the Vatican liked to add that Bergoglio had had breakfast, had been reading, praying, or working, or that he had spent time sitting in an armchair, the rather curt update on Saturday morning indicated something was amiss.
It was therefore not unexpected that the Vatican’s evening update for Feb. 22 contained the following serious news:
The Holy Father’s condition continues to be critical, so, as explained yesterday, the Pope is not out of danger.
This morning Pope Francis suffered a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis, which also required the application of high-flow oxygen.
Today’s blood tests also revealed platelopenia, associated with anaemia, which required the administration of blood transfusions.
The Holy Father continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair, although in more pain than yesterday. At the moment the prognosis is reserved.

A prognosis that is “reserved” (or “guarded”) means the doctors are not sufficiently sure about how the patient will fare: “A guarded prognosis means there’s not enough information yet to make a judgment about likely outcomes” (source). Not surprisingly, the Vatican has announced Francis will again not lead the Angelus on Sunday.

Yesterday, Feb. 21, medical doctors at the Gemelli gave a press conference in which they updated the public in detail about Bergoglio’s health. However, that was before the events of Saturday:

Let us pray for a death-bed conversion of ‘Pope’ Francis: “As I live, saith the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way, and live” (Ez 33:11); “With men this is impossible: but with God all things are possible” (Mt 19:26).
