They claim that Pope Francis suffers from a “serious and degenerative disease” and that “he will not be the same”

The disease that punished Pope Francis is severe and degenerative. The Pope will no longer be the same. Nobody knows today if his pilgrimage to Hungary and Slovakia (which Jorge Bergoglio announced on the same Sunday 4 where he was operated) will be possible.

All that and further it’s in a bombshell article published this Wednesday by the Vatican Catholic affairs website “Il Sismografo” and signed with the initials LB and RC. LB is Luis Badilla, a seasoned Chilean journalist with many years in the Latin American newsroom at Vatican Radio.

Francisco, 84, underwent surgery at the Gemelli polyclinic on Sunday and lies on the 10th floor in the same room that housed his predecessor John Paul II several times. A left hemicolectomy was performed, but no medical report was published, only the daily reports from the Vatican.

Luis Badilla is the director of the Seismograph, which is not an official Vatican body but follows a narrow line and fervently supports the Pope. Publishes articles from the world’s leading newspapers and magazines in five or six languages and receives 35,000 requests daily. The name was given by John Paul II when he said that journalists “are like seismographs measuring the vibrations of public opinion”.

“The disease that punished Pope Francis is serious and degenerative. It can also be chronic “

He seismograph

The Seismograph is one of the first sites that specialists in Vatican issues and those who want a plural information on the Catholic world.

The article is titled “Pope Francis does not need the courtesy by the press ”. It is an Italian term to indicate an attitude of courtiers, suck the media declared in a more clear and brutal way, that according to the agency, with his rhetoric which shows a superman Jorge Mario Bergoglio, “damages his image and his charisma”.

The future of the Pope

The article is very interesting to interpret What will happen in the future of the pontificate of Francis. For readers of Bugle, it is preferable to fully translate this tool for reflection.

“First of all, we want to renew our vows and prayers to the Holy Father Francis and thank God who protected him in a moment. extremely delicate, giving it not only a capacity for recovery but also vitality and responsiveness and, one thing to emphasize, a medical team and a health center among the best in the world.

“Of course, the Holy Father will return to the Vatican to resume his journey in Peter’s footsteps, but he will no longer be the same.

He seismograph

“But there is a very important detail in these hours that many underestimate, ignore or manipulate: the disease that punished Pope Francis is severe and degenerative. It can also be chronic”.

“Of course, the Holy Father will return to the Vatican to resume his journey in Peter’s footsteps, but it will not be the same.

“All the rhetoric of a Jorge Mario Bergoglio Superman it harms their image and their charisma. People who read, listen to or watch the news they are not stupid and unable to think and assert themselves, even because millions of families have had similar experiences with their own seniors.

What happened in the operating room

“We know from many important press sources that the Pope, on Sunday afternoon, underwent total anesthesia and strong sedatives, first underwent laparoscopic surgery and then a “open” surgical manipulation work with your hands in a full visible field.

“Laparoscopy encountered insurmountable obstacles and, as often happens in this type of operation, the surgeon and his team decided – the patient had agreed to this possibility at the time of admission – to move on to another method he accepted. removal of several inches from the colon which are now undergoing rigorous histological examination.

“In a paragraph in the Vatican Press Room bulletin on Tuesday, it is assured that the Pontiff ‘had his breakfast’, so it is possible to infer that the surgical intervention it was not particularly devastating and that’s great news ”.

“The adult and mature faithful understand with sorrow that Pope Francis will live the life that God will give him with many physical and physiological limitations and also metabolic.

“Must be constantly monitored with extensive clinical checks and other hospitalizations, although brief, may be hypothetical Instruments required for imaging diagnosis they don’t exist in the Vatican and those of the Gemelli polyclinic in Rome are the most technologically modern.

“That is why it is good to wait with affection and serenity what the Holy Father will want to do so that everything is the result of your decisions and those of the doctors who advise you, without having to undergo media pressure.

“No need to invent anything to keep Francisco’s profile high, especially international and even intercontinental travel. It is clear that Francis wishes to go to Budapest for the closing of the 52nd International Eucharistic Congress and then to Slovakia, in mid-September, but no one knows today whether this pilgrimage it will be possible.

“We have to hope that these visits come true, but nothing more can be added. The Holy Father must take care of his health and in this he must be helped by all, in particular by Catholics. He knows that your life must change a lot: fatigue, rest, limits, diet, physical rehabilitation exercises …

“One small way to be close to the Pope as he recovers his strength – a slow, gradual and complex process – is to end the attitude of courtiers through the press. Pope Francis doesn’t need it. “
