Please: the truth about the Pope’s health

Catholic Culture, Phil Lawler:

Wouldn’t it be nice if the Vatican simply told us the truth about the Pope’s health?

Last Wednesday, when the Pope was hospitalized, the Vatican press office reassured us that he was going in for “previously scheduled” tests. The next day we were told he was suffering from a respiratory infection, and by the weekend, as the Pope was released, the word was that he had been treated for “severe bronchitis.” Report is here.
