But he is an excellent and fair reporter, not a nutjob liker like John (I forget his last name) the columnist for the National Catholic Reporter.<br /><br />By the way everyone....the Pope is apparently ill...supposedly with the flu. Today was the annual Christmas Greeting and speech to the Curia. Francis started it off saying he didn't feel well, and that he felt too weak to give his speech standing, as his custom, so he sat to given the speech (the way all Popes always did). But for him to admit to being unwell, and to sit instead of stand (remember he hates to do anything Papal, so he really must be sick if he sat ) LOL!<br />He looked very pale, thin in the face, and tired. Oh well, too much plotting his next move with his liberal cabal dissidents I guess.<br />I think he has more than the flu.<br /><br />My great aunt, is a nun (she is 81, and was a young nun from Mumbai staying at her Orders' motherhouse in Rome (Franciscan Missionaries of Mary)when John XXIII died. She e-mailed me from NYC whenre she has been stationed since 1996 to say that she saw the Pope's speech on a Catholic channel this AM and he looks terrible....and has more than "the flu".<br />She said when she was in Rome, for months before John XXIII died, every time he was ill and cancelled audiences, the Vatican claimed he had a "cold" . She remembers them claiming he had "the flu", about four months before he died.....of terminal stomach cancer.<br />Damian Malliapalli<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4404498638452030181.post-86389653003683614222015-12-21T11:12:10.585-08:002015-12-21T11:12:10.585-08:00OT Magister's back home again!
