BREAKING: Pope Francis’ Kidneys begin to fail, receives red blood cell concentrate

BREAKING NEWS SUMMARY of Italian Original above
by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Pope Francis’ kidneys have begun to fail. He has received a transfusion of concentrated red blood cells as his anemic condition persists. He has not had another breathing crisis as on Saturday morning. He continues to breathe through nasal tubes to augment oxygen intake.

He attended Mass in his room with his medical team.

He remains in critical condition. No prognosis can be given due to the high risk of unforeseen complications.

You can read a full Google translation of the Italian Edition of the Vatican News press release from this evening, HERE.

The Vatican still won’t admit the truth: Pope Francis is dying.

According to the KidneyFund.org, kidney failure leads to an inability of the body to produce sufficient red blood cells. This may explain Pope Francis’ anemia. Kidney failure also struck Pope Benedict XVI ad Archbishop Gaenswein, ostensibly due to the poor health quality of the tap water at the Vatican. FromRome.Info surmised correctly nearly a week ago, that Pope Francis’ real undisclosed problem was this.

According to the U.S. National Institute of Health (here), the failure of the kidneys to produce EPO leads directly to anemia in patients with low oxygen intake, as seems to be the case with Pope Francis who has chronic breathing problems:

Erythropoietin (EPO) is a glycoprotein hormone produced by the peritubular cells of the renal cortex. This hormone stimulates red blood cell production in response to low partial pressure of oxygen (pO2).

From this it appears that Pope Francis is suffering from widespread organ problems: kidneys, lungs with pneumonia and polymicrobic infection, low blood platelets due to clotting issues, risk of sepsis from infection and tissue bloating etc..  It will be nigh impossible to solve all these at once. At last we have a clearer picture of Pope Francis’ complex health issues.

BREAKING: Pope Francis to remain in Hospital indefinitely, as of Feb. 16, 2025

Editor’s Note: The report, which you can click above, from Reuters, contains more alarming news: the spokesman will no longer say when Pope Francis will be released from hospital. — His condition, therefore, is now serious.

The report says also that “microbiological” tests have been done and his treatment has been changed.

This means that he is no longer in hospital for a simple bronchitis. There is some sort of infection, which was unexpected. — I assume they found something in the sputum from his lungs.

This argues that Pope Francis might be suffering from a depressed or failing immune system, which is always a serious medical condition.

Once, again, FromRome.info rightly read through the lines of recent reports, when it predicted that Pope Francis was more sick than the Vatican had been admitting.

In this current report, the statement that Pope Francis was responding well in “some values”, means that he is not improving in all the other values tested, and indeed might be getting worse in some of them.

Indeed, the medical staff of Gemelli Hospital, have advised a complete rest. Which means, that Pope Francis will not be in any public events or resuming his duties for an indefinite period. It also means, there may be multiple health factors, which the staff wants to see permanent improvement in, before they are willing to risk the liability of releasing him at any specific date in the future.

All of this sounds VERY serious, at the very least.

The above report is already 7 hours old, and thus was released about midnight, Rome time. Further reports today, Sunday, February 16, 2025, should tell more, as this announcement of an indefinite stay will cause an explosion of interest among the Faithful and journalists world-wide.

Indefinite stay in hospital is usually recommended only for those with chronic conditions which are not responding or responding sluggishly to treatment. It means that left untreated there is risk of graver conditions or death outside the hospital.

This means that Pope Francis’ “ministry” is now effectively stopped. If he should fall into a coma, the Church would be officially in a sede impedita of the Apostolic See, a juridical state in which a Provincial Council at Rome can be convoked. But if the Cardinals declare him “no longer the pope”, because of a prognosis that he will likely remain in coma till the end of his life, and go forward and elect another pope, we will be back into a Two Pope situation, with the new pope being uncanonically elected.

According to Catholic Teaching, all normal means must be used to sustain and save life. So if his condition does not improve, Pope Francis might be in hospital for a very long time.

Finally, Reuters seems to know something they are not reporting, and have signified this by the photograph they have chosen, that of candles, usually placed outside a hospital for someone near death and dying.

UPDATE: The Globalists are freaking out over Pope Francis’ serious condition, as can be seen from Google, which when you search for “Pope Francis’ health”, 3 hours ago had numerous reports, but as of 9 AM Rome time has been completely censored, with only 3 results, the first of which has nothing to do with it. Evidently, Google believes that only “far right” “antisemites” want to know how Pope Francis is doing!

Pope Francis’ condition worse than reported this morning, Feb. 14, 2025

Commentary by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Traduction française

As I said earlier this week, here, Pope Francis’ desire to prove himself healthy by pushing himself harder, was a sign of a bad state of mind, which would only lead to further deterioration of health. And today, Saint Valentine’s Day, confirmed that analysis, when Pope Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, for, it was said, problems with “bronchitis”.

But Gemelli is the Hospital famous for heart surgery. And indeed there are several hospitals closer to the Vatican: Bambino Gesu’ is only 500 ft away. Gemelli is about 6.8 KM, about 30 minutes in traffic.

Pope Francis’ situation is not simply a mild cold. Since he has cancelled his next 3 days of activities and will remain in hospital during that time. There are clearly other complications:

So I was right to speculate this morning there was something more grave that we were being told. And I was right: Associated Press is now reporting that Pope Francis has a fever. The medicine for his bronchitis also has caused water retention.

But water retention can also threaten the heart.

It remains to be seen whether Pope Francis has entered his last hospital. His condition by Monday should tell.

Pope John Paul II also insisted he was healthy enough in his last months. Refusing to remain in hospital, he caught a urinary tract infection which ultimately killed him. It was perhaps significant that he died in such a manner, since in the Bible God strikes down those who are impure with diseases of the venera. I refer to the explosive revelations of the Senatorial Commission Investigating the Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi.
