Cardinal Sandri was informed on Monday 27 that he would preside at the Palm Sunday Eucharist, writes IlSismografo (March 30), concluding that decisions about Francis' absence during Holy Week were already made 24 hours before his hospitalisation.
SilereNonPossum counters on Twitter (March 30) that Sandri's statement should be understood in the sense that he would have stood at the Novus Ordo table while Francis would have assisted in the wheelchair.
The Vatican’s press office has been criticised for its confusing reporting, “The versions given are not only different but also contradictory”, writes IlSismografo.
For some time now the tendency in medicine is to limit Hospital stay. When my father was told that he had about 3 weeks to live (cancer), he was sent home. Besides, a hospital room can be set up where the pope is staying, I was told almost 10 years before JPII died that a hospital bed with IV unit was set up in the papal Palace
I just heard on FOXNEWS before heading to work at my local HS where I teach History (and Japanese as an elective language), that Bergoglio might be released from the hospital as early as tomorrow, Saturday. Looks like he didn't have much of a problem after all. Alittle Tylenol, Robutussin, and an oral antibiotic would have done the trick.....but they had to make a big show of it. That is, unless he really has a true problem other than the sniffles and cough.
@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori I don't think they made a show. They tried to hide an accute emergency. Now I think they try to make it look like a regular thing.
