2025-02-24

Arrr, me hearties! Pope Francis, aged 88 and more weathered than a ship’s hull, be loungin’ in the hospital on the tenth morn, battle-worn from a lung beastie that’s givin’ his kidneys a jolly hard time! Aye, even the Holy Sea can’t escape a rough tide!

Avast, me hearties! Gather 'round as I spin ye a yarn 'bout Pope Francis, the jolly ol' captain of the Vatican ship, who be takin' a long rest at the Gemelli Hospital, havin' battled a nasty lung infection that tried to send him to Davy Jones' locker!

Arrr, it be day ten of his stay, and the Vatican be sayin’ he slept well, though it be unclear if he feasted on a hearty breakfast o' grub! This ol' sea dog fell ill after a week of bronchitis that turned into a full-blown storm o' pneumonia, makin' it rough sailin' for our papal matey.

The doctors be keepin' a weather eye on him, reportin' slight kidney troubles but sayin' he be holdin' steady—though they warn of the dreaded sepsis lurkin’ in the shadows! With his history of lung battles, the stakes be high, but the Pope be alert enough to attend Mass and send written messages, bless his sails!

Cardinal Dolan, bless his soul, be prayin’ for the old scallywag to bounce back like a cannonball, although whispers of him bein’ close to his final voyage be floatin’ about. So hoist the flags and keep yer fingers crossed for our papal captain! May he find his sea legs again soon!
