Summary

Pope Francis experienced a critical asthmatic respiratory crisis, requiring oxygen and blood transfusions due to low platelets.

He remains alert but in more pain than the previous day.

    “This pope is the best so far but he’s still imperfect for [reasons]. And so [impolite wishes for him to suffer]”

    Watch people proclaim how they misunderstand how Perfection steals joy from Better, and how it kills efforts for incremental improvement.

      The best pope is only as good as the worst priest. And either way Catholics have been pretty messed up over the years.

      The only good pope is a dead one. There is no way to see them as valuable as anything other than an example of what not to dedicate your life to. Nothing but good comes from that religion collapsing.

      But so far there’s always another. One day we will be rid of them. Hopefully we’re at least halfway through their chapter in history.
