Fest Mariä Opferung, 21. November

So much for all the gossip about Francis being severely ill, dying, etc. Glad that he is not. I don't wish cancer, etc. on anyone. But all those rumors and gossip as if they were true was sick. I believed them at first, and told my uncle who is a cardiologist but can basically treat anything. Believing in the gossip, he thought Francis was very ill.
Again, I'm glad apparently he isn't, but those who spread the gossip (apparently in Rome) and even in the Vatican, are imbeciles. Talk when they have true facts like that, not making up scenarios you hope for.
