Editor’s Note: The constant chorus refrain by the Main Stream Media, world-wide, “the Pope is getting better, slowly”, is broken by the honest reports of facts which show that this is not the case. The above report (click image to read in original English), says Pope Francis was so frail that a media-equip prepared to record his voice for the Sunday Angelus, was sent away from his residence after waiting for some time, because Pope Francis did not feel well enough.

Yet, on March 23, 2025, he was shown to the crowds at the Gemelli Polyclinic, from an open air balcony, and gave a short salutation via microphone. Why can he not do that now?

And this second report (click the image below) from Afghan Voice Agency, admits 3 things that no other news source has admitted: Pope Francis can barely walk, now; that one medical professional has stated that after release from hospital he seems 5 years older than when he entered. Moreover, that there are doubts by medical experts that he will ever recover:

PLEASE NOTE: The images of Pope Francis in each of these articles are old and out of date and show him when he was in better health.

Editor’s Note: RAI news, the official channel of the Italian Republic, is reporting that Pope Francis is still receiving oxygen 24/7: at night time in high concentrations and even during the daytime, with nasal tubes, which he must use at all times “except for brief moments.”

The reports that Pope Francis had a chest x-ray also indicate that his lung infection is still serious, because if it had been cured at the hospital, there would be no need for future x-rays, which on account of their damage to human tissue are not used unless there is a serious problem which needs monitoring.

In other reports, though it was reported that Pope Francis could not write, Cardinal Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, clarified that Pope Francis can sign his name, with the letter, “F”, but no more than that.

What remains unexplained by the Main Stream Media is why Pope Francis right shoulder is still preventing him from writing, since with proper treatment the swelling and pain in a dislocated shoulder should pass after 6 weeks, and it has been nearly 8 weeks since his admission to hospital.

I have already reported the real reason, however, namely that normally serious injury to the shoulder is treated with one or two cortisone shots; however, in Pope Francis’ case, since he has been abusing cortisone for several months, if not the entire last 12 months, his doctors seem to have not chosen this cure for him.

The above report, in Italian, by RAI News (which does not allow a Google translation) emphasizes that Pope Francis’ health has improved slightly. This is what has been told to the public for nearly 4 weeks. But it is simply not true, since in his first week in hospital, e. g. on Feb. 20th, we were told he used oxygen only occasionally.

So he has gotten worse, not better!

Moreover, Pope Francis still cannot write and he is still on oxygen all the time. So the truth is that there has been no significant improvement. His lungs cannot be much better, either, if they are still taking x-rays of them.

Editor’s Note: Here at FromRome.Info, I pay close attention to the claims about Pope Francis’ health, and I especially note when those claims change, when no other journalist does, because even changes are news.

And this above report by Vatican News is occasion for a prime example: because Vatican News yesterday at 12:30 PM local time published a report which claims that Pope Francis has been counseled by his doctors to avoid all meetings, both those with groups and those with individuals; whereas, on Saturday, his medical team at Gemelli Hospital only recommended that he avoid meetings with large groups and children.

So clearly Pope Francis’ health has become extremely more delicate, if it has not deteriorated further after his release from hospital, just two days ago.

This press release was made shortly before King Charles announced that he had “postponed” his state visit to the Vatican. That visit was scheduled between April 7 and April 10. So to cancel that visit means that Pope Francis’ health condition is not seen by his current medical staff as something which is likely to improve over the next two weeks.

These developments fly in the face of the Main Stream Media’s chorus, that Pope Francis will eventually recover entirely and be able to return to his work-aholic schedule, and that his convalescence is only a temporary situation.

The truth maybe  quite different: it may not be convalescence, but hospice care, also known as pallative care: that is, assisted living in the face of inevitable death in the next few weeks.

Alas, if the Vatican is not forthcoming as to the reason why the Pope can no longer meet with individuals, it is simply going to foster more wild speculation about whether he is dead or has been substituted with a fake who could not convince even King Charles. — Less wild speculation is already appearing on Catholic social media sites like Gloria.TV, where even priests are saying that he was released from the hospital, to die; not because he is cured, but because Gemelli does not want it said that a Pope died under their care.

In related news, it appears Pope Francis has lost the ability to sign documents

For in the above report from The Pillar, the Apostolic Nuncio to the United States admitted that he had to use a rare power of Nuncios, in special circumstances, to appoint the new Archbishop of Washington, D. C., because, “I cannot read to you a document which the Pope has not signed”. And that was in regard to an appointment on February 11, 2025, some 6 weeks ago. The Papal Bull has still not been signed. Thus, the conclusion is, that Pope Francis has lost the ability to write with his right hand.

Editor’s Note: There is something really wrong with Pope Francis, because, if it be the case that he needs to re-learn how to speak, there has been either a grave injury to his vocal apparatus or he has suffered brain damage. It is scarcely credible that at an internationally first rate hospital like Gemelli, high level oxygen would be administered without being first humidified. Also, if one has speech problems from a dry throat, then simple re-hydration can cure that in a day, so there would be no need to “relearn” how to speak. — Click the image above tor read the original article in English.

Thus, it is quite possible that during one of his three near “death by choking” incidents he had a tracheotomy to open the breathing route. It is also possible that during one of his near glycemic coma incidents in February he suffered some sort of brain damage. It also could be that, instead, he is suffering from some sort of lateral ischemia or paralysis, which causes a lack of blood flow or movement on one side of his face and its musculature.

And it probably also has to do with the fact that his lungs are in a very poor condition.

But this admission by Cardinal Fernandez puts in further doubt the claim by Vatican News that Pope Francis is concelebrating the Mass, since that is impossible unless you can speak. In fact, when priest loses the ability to enunciate, the normal course is for his bishop to be deprive him of his faculty to say the Mass, on account of the sacrality of the spoke ritual, wherein to “say” Mass without proper enunciation would be both a sacrilege and put in doubt its validity.

But, if, by saying saying he needs to relearn how to speak, the Cardinal means to imply that Pope Francis will be on high levels of oxygen for the rest of his life, then there is much more to it that first appears.

This news truly explains the depth of the misinformation given by Vatican News during the last month, as nothing of this kind was ever even hinted at.

In Italian versions of this interview, which are in the original language of his comments, Cardinal Fernandez also says that Pope Francis will need rehabilitation therapy after he leaves hospital and that his doctors want to be 100% sure before they release him, that he can be on his own outside of a hospital setting. In fact, the Cardinal says, “He might be released from the hospital” at some future time. This is a really significant admission, that the Cardinal did not use the future tense but the conditional, “might”.

The Cardinal affirms, uncategorically, however, that Pope Francis will NOT resign, even though he DOES affirm that Pope Francis will never be able to return to his busy schedule.

However, if the Cardinal is honest in relating that Pope Francis does not want to resign, it must be, that Cardinal Fernandez asked him if he wanted to resign. And that is Big News! Because if one of his closest confidants is asking the question, that implies that nearly all the College of Cardinals is counseling him to resign.

And for the Church this is very good news, because with the Pope in such a debilitated state, Bishops, backed by the majority of the College of Cardinals, will not have to implement his uncatholic and destructive decrees, which will soon be buried with him forever.

UPDATE:

On Saturday following the above report, il Messagero ran this article, interviewing a M. D. who strives to give every possible explanation for the Pope needing speech therapy, but excluding brain damage. He does not mention a tracheotomy, drug abuse, but suggests that the force of coughing could damage the larynx! The article is behind a subscription wall, but if you stop the download before it completes, it does allow you to read it, without subscribing.

Editor’s Note: Pope Francis’ health is clearly deteriorating, and this can be seen in the change in the Press Releases. Previously it was said that he “slept through the night”, now even that positive fact is not affirmed. — Moreover, after 20 days in hospital, the fact that his medical team can not yet give a prognosis of when or if he will recover, means that he more likely has a chronic permanent condition, and will only get worse if he ever leaves the hospital.

Editor’s Note: He is not getting better, he is dying, this is obvious, as the frequency of violent spasms has increased. Calling these two incidents, “acute respiratory insufficiency” is laughable and tragically dishonest.

Editor’s Note: What they don’t say is concerning; and they admit that by writing: “stable” in the leader to the Article.  In fact, for many days, the Vatican Press Releases have claimed this same thing. But stable does not mean improvement. And on some days, “stable” was not said. So we must assume on those days he declined. On a few days some limited improvement was claimed, but it was always “slight”. Thus, as a result, even the professional press is arriving at the same conclusion: that the hospitalization is not improving Pope Francis’ condition, since it appears that his condition is no beter than when he arrived; moreover there must be many things seriously wrong with him, such that they have denied the press to take any photographs for 17 days.

For example, why has NO press release detailed ALL the problems which constitute the “critical condition” which he is claimed to be in?  Why do NONE of these releases specify if the Pope has made any substantial progress to recovery to normality in any of these key areas of his health?

As such, these press releases are by no means an act of transparency, as is claimed still in the above news article. They, rather, are an exercise in misinformation and disinformation.

And for that reason, many minds are beginning to contemplate whether we are seeing some sort of coverup, intended to keep Cardinal Parolin, or the group of Cardinals now in control of the Vatican, in power long after Pope Francis is conscious or alive. As for the daily calls to Gaza, these can be faked with AI. So the insistence that he is making them is more than suspicious.

Editor’s Note: Yesterday, on the 14th day of Pope Francis’ hospitalization the world broke out laughing, when Vatican News Italian Edition claimed that Pope Francis had been in hospital 12 days!

But now the joke really gets worse: as the English language version of this morning’s Press Release, for Feb. 28, 2025, says that he has spent a restful 15th night in hospital! (See screen shot above).

This means that in the space of 16 hours, Pope Francis has been in Gemelli hospital 3 more nights than he was reported to have been yesterday. He must be in a time-machine — that is the only rational explanation (Ed. note: to be totally sarcastic).

For those who cannot count: Pope Francis went into Gemelli Hospital on Friday afternoon, February 14, 2025. So, he has spent only 14 nights in the hospital, as of this morning Feb. 28th.

The English language Release then misinforms, by claiming that reports from yesterday already have declared that Pope Francis has come out of the most critical phase of his recovery.

I do not know about Vatican News — I guess they do not read their very own Press Releases which never said such a thing — but it seems that they are reading Il Messaggero, the newspaper, to find out what is going on in Gemelli hospital and have been cut out of the loop.

Either that or they were told to push the propaganda, which cites no one by name and publishes a guess as fact.

Editor’s Note: It almost appears that the Vatican News Press Releases are not just a simple joke, but are a psyop to play with the minds of readers. Because this afternoon, the latest Release says that Pope Francis has been in hospital 12 days. — But today is Thursday, Feb. 27, 2025, and he went into hospital on Friday, Feb. 14, 2025. And if you count the full periods of 24hours each, he has been in hospital 13 * 24-hr periods. If you count days, even partial, its 14 days.

So where was he on the missing day that he was not at Gemelli? Or is the Vatican so sloppy that they cannot count on the fingers of two hands?

This morning, we were told that he had new tests taken. But today there are no results reported. Likewise, we are told Pope Francis’ condition has slightly improved, but we are not told what this statement refers to. It is not said that his condition is stable. It is not said that his condition is critical.

We are told that he is still taking air, and this time the kind of mask being used is named. That does not sound like an improvement, because the other day it was said he was receiving oxygen from a breathing tube inserted just under the nose.

However, it is still said that a prognosis cannot yet been given.

When was he taken off antibiotics?

This is sloppy reporting at the very least. Or a sloppy cover up and the best.

But in the end it will cause journalists to stop asking questions, because the Press Releases become more and more absurd.

Finally, Il Messaggero — the newspaper which said Pope Francis had an “inferzione” — is now reporting that Pope Francis has left the critical stage of illness and is on his way to recovery. But the official press release says nothing of the kind.

This makes me recall the quip of a former head of Vatican News, in regard to Pope John Paul II’s deteriorating health:  The pope is always in good health, until he dies.

Editor’s Note: The charade continues with a one line press release, this time with a phrase which is more positive than yesterday: “The Pope slept well during the night and is now resting”!

But today there is no mention that his condition is stable!

It has been reported that Cardinal Mueller called Pope Francis by phone and urged him “not to resign”. But it appears that the phone call was to determine if the Pope was in fact in the hospital and still alive.

The mere fact that no one outside of his closest circle has been allowed to verify if he is alive, is most strange, since he is not in a Quarantine Area.

Also, the absence of any photographs showing Pope Francis in hospital, during these last 14 days is beyond imagining, since Pope Francis likes everyone to see his photos.

We are constantly being told that the Pope is fine. But the way it is being reported only engenders doubt that the situation is quite different.

In fact, antibiotics for infections are normally given only during a 10 day period, after which their administration has to be stopped, lest it cause severe damage to the biota necessary for human life, which live inside the human body. Yet, the Pope has ostensibly been on anti-biotics for nearly two-weeks. Something does not add up.

I predict that the phrase “The Pope has slept well and is now resting” to go viral in comical memes and tropes in the future, for it clear we are witnessing a Circus, produced by a Vatican Staff which has not the foggiest idea either of the modern notion of transparency, or of the words of Our Lord Jesus Christ: “Let your ‘yes’ be a yes, and your “no” a no; everything else comes from the devil”.

Tomorrow, or the next, day, we can expect to see a “Donate to the Vatican” button appear on these press releases, because grifting always follows mendacity.

Commentary and Critique by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

Just yesterday Morning, I lamented that the Vatican Press’ standards of journalistic ethics were to be questioned, on account of their one line report, “The Pope slept well all night long”. Because such a statement implied that he was monitored all night, or was drugged so as to sleep, or both.

So today, it does not surprise me, that Vatican News changed its wording, for today, saying, “The Pope spent a tranquil night and is resting”.

Since such a phrase means nothing objectively and thus implies nothing.

But this change makes me think, that those at Vatican News are beginning to think of their own careers in journalism, after Pope Francis exits stage-left.

And if that is the case, then I think it is all the more certain that Pope Francis will die in the next few days, or at least, that the real prognosis is that he will never recover and will have to abdicate.

And that indeed is good news.

And this seems confirmed by the busy activity of Pope Francis in recent days, to approve new liberal bishops, extend the authority of the Nun he put in charge in the Vatican, increase her staff, and canonize saints. He wants to damage the Church as much as he can before he can no longer do anything. What a zeal for evil!

Report by Br. Alexis Bugnolo

The latest press release about Pope Francis’ health, in English, (click above), is identical to that in Italian: something that has been unusual during these 11 days in hospital for Pope Francis.

The Pope is suffering from pneumonia in both lungs. His blood parameters are unchanged. The slight renal failure is under control.

This last affirmation seems to be a correction to the shocking statement from yesterday morning that Pope Francis’ renal failure is of no concern to his medical team.

What an Expert in Lung Infections & Disease says

To get a clearer picture of Pope Francis’ health situation, FromRome.Info interviewed an expert in lung disease and infection, at Rome, yesterday evening.

I asked him all the possible questions which are most pertinent, to understand better how much in risk of death is Pope Francis, and what these press releases may be saying. What follows is my summary of our conversation.

First, he said the greatest risks to life for Pope Francis right now are his pneumonia and the blood transfusions he is receiving.

For a patient of his age, 88 years, and frail condition, pneumonia is not only dangerous but it is very dangerous, and other complications can occur very quickly, such as internal bleeding, resulting from the inflammation of the lung tissue. If that were to occur in an immuno-depressed patient it could quickly cause infective agents to enter the blood stream leading to sepsis and rapid death.

Pope Francis appears to have long term issues with his immune system, since he has been suffering bronchitis for months, and seems unable to shake it on his own. That he was diagnosed with pneumonia after entering the hospital means that the immediate therapies given for his bronchitis were not working as they should.

The pharmacological therapies he has been given have been changed, already, at least once. If he is on antibiotics, he will have to remain on them for more than a week to see substantive results. However, antibiotics, since they kill gut bacteria, can also cause malnutrition, since the body cannot process eaten food with them. So if Pope Francis does recover, he might still be in a weakened condition for several weeks thereafter.

The Medical Expert also says, depending on what medicines he is being given, it could be these which are causing Pope Francis’ anemia and slight renal failure. So until these medicines are identified in a press release, it cannot be known whether these specific health issues occurred before being hospitalized or are a result of his hospitalization.

However, in such condition, it is a must that Pope Francis remains in bed and rest all day long.

Second, the greatest danger to Pope Francis’ life are the blood transfusions he has been given and which might be given him in the future. Yes, it is normal, for a hospitalized patient, who has his blood health impacted, that he be given platelets or red blood cells, or a transfusion, as a therapy for things like lack of oxygenation or anemia. However, since the blood supply in Italy is tainted by donations from persons who were DeathVaxxed, that is, who took the Covid-19 “vaccine”, a notorious experimental injection which contains over 53 factors which can kill, even instantly, many of which attack also the blood health of those who receive them, EVERY time they give a blood transfusion to Pope Francis, he is rolling dice at the Casino of life-or-death.

And what is even more disturbing, is that most medical doctors in Italy act with reckless disregard as to whether the blood they have given to their patients comes from DeathVaxxed individuals or not. Even a blood-donor who took only one dose, two years ago, can have factors in his blood that can kill.

Finally, the Medical Expert we spoke with — who must remain anonymous for his own personal protection — affirmed that until the Press Releases become more specific, it is impossible to say whether Pope Francis is going to survive or not, or even what level of danger of death he may be in. Statements such as “He slept well”, “His condition is stable”, while sounding reassuring, mean nothing really that could be used to determine his health.
