Pray for the Holy Father
There are rumors in Rome that the pope’s surgery on his colon was for cancer; that His Holiness has terminal cancer. These are rumors, spread in high places in Rome.
Then the Pope himself, stoked the rumors when he told everyone last week that his nostalgic reflection on his own priesthood would be his “swan song.” Yes, the Holy Father is the source of stoking rumors about his terminal health situation.
Then the Holy Father, of all popes, invited two young (rigid?) priests of the FSSP to a full hour audience with him where the Holy Father after hearing of the pain that His Holiness has inflicted upon young Catholics and others who prefer the ancient Lex Orandi of the Church and its liturgical books, seems to have repented in part over his cruel suppression of what was the lex orandi of the Church until about 60 years ago. His Holiness had a smile on his face, unlike the scowl His Holiness often shows forth, after His Holiness’ meeting with these two young loyal sons of the Church.
And then this from the Vatican Press office this morning:

Prayers for the wellbeing of the Holy Father. May he be given the strength to endure any challenges he is or may face.
Father McDonald,
You would know better than I, but I think the Vatican has always been fairly private about a reigning Pope's health. Although Pope Francis did have a serious operation the Vatican has been fairly circumspect in mentioning particulars, as I would expect. Of course with John Paul II, his condition became fairly obvious.
Repent! The end is near!
