Editor’s Note: It is very significant that RAI News is broadcasting live from Gemelli Hospital right now (8 A M). This means that they expect important events or news today, and if they know more than we do, I expect it to be news that Pope Francis has died during the night. Click to watch the video. — Indeed, all the points now line up. On Feb. 18, it was reported that Pope Francis feared he was going to die. On Feb. 19, RAI NEWS at the Vatican was put on full alert. On Feb. 20, that the Swiss Guard was practicing his funeral. A lot more people seem to have known the truth all along.

UPDATE: 10 AM, RAI News has ended its live broadcast from Gemelli and moved it to the Vatican for the Jubilee celebration of the mass for Deacons.

UPDATE: 1 PM — The Vatican Press altered its early morning report that Pope Francis had blood transfusions again this Sunday morning, and most MSM followed suit by republishing the news from yesterday. But Today.IT confirmed the FromRome.Info report above. Meanwhile, Vatican News has not denied the second round of transfusions, so it appears not to have been an error in reporting but a deliberate censorship of the news.

UPDATE: 3:30 P.M.

According to this report, Pope Francis had blood drawn for examination this morning, the results of the tests of which will be available this evening:
