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.
Sooo… black smoke in 3-2-1?
Interesting bit of trivia for anyone interested in such things:
In 1595, a “prophecy” was published claiming to predict all the Popes through the end times.

Benedict was the last one on the list. So we’re in uncharted territory until “Peter the Roman” ends it all by destroying Rome.
Not a good name for a guy who destroys Rome. Maybe Peter the Ex-Roman.
Maybe he’ll meet an antipope and they’ll both suddenly be annihilated in a huge explosion?
Pope vs. Anti-Pope is always mixed at a 1:1 ratio.
