Update from Fox: Pope Francis was hospitalized after having difficulty breathing recently and tests revealed a respiratory infection, a Vatican spokesman said.
"The tests showed a respiratory infection (COVID-19 infection excluded) that will require some days of medical therapy," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said on Wednesday.
UPDATE! Papa Francesco he is hospitalized at the Gemelli Polyclinic after feeling unwell in the early afternoon. According to health sources, it would be one atrial fibrillation which doctors are now monitoring, resulting from respiratory distress. The Holy Father arrived at the hospital in an ambulance and was transferred to the cardiology department.
After the first tests it was decided to hospitalize Pope Francis who, therefore, will spend the night at the Gemelli. With him are the closest collaborators and men of the gendarmerie who watch over his safety. At the moment, sources reached by "Agenzia Nova" speak of a "situation under control", but which is not underestimated. The Pope is vigilant and collaborative and his general conditions do not cause particular concern, even if he appears visibly tired. For the moment, all the Pope's commitments scheduled for the next few days have been cancelled.
THE BLOG SILERE NON POSSUM IS REPORTING THIS AND IT IS TO GEMELI HOSPITAL IN ROME!
THIS IS FROM THAT BLOG:
This afternoon the Supreme Pontiff was transported by ambulance to the cardiac unit of the Agostino Gemelli Hospital. Investigations are underway. All the appointments of the Holy Father in the agenda of 30 and 31 March have been cancelled.

“The Holy Father has been at Gemelli since this afternoon for some previously scheduled checkups,” read the one-line statement.

The Associated Press reported 20 minutes ago"
VATICAN CITY — Pope Francis went to a Rome hospital on Wednesday and canceled his audiences for the next two days to undergo previously scheduled tests, the Vatican said.
========================================================================
I have not encountered reports about a cardiac event.

You haven’t read the two Sources I posted then.
Father McDonald, the official statement from Rome read that Pope Francis is at the hospital for tests that had been scheduled. There is not a report about a cardiac event.
Regardless, I will pray for Pope Francis' health.
We should find out soon.
Father McDonald, thank you.

The Vatican never report that JPII had Parkinson’s either! You need declaration investigative reporting for these things.5
Mark Thomas what will you do if your Golden Calf goes to his “reward?”
Father McDonald, thank you for your latest reply.

With Father McDonald's permission:
Mike Lewis, of the Where Peter Is Blog, just noted:
"In May 2020, Pope Francis published a prayer to Our Lady for the sick. Perhaps today we can pray it in a particular way for him."
=========================================================================
Here is that prayer from 2020 A.D., that I just prayed for Pope Francis, as well as each of God's children throughout the world:

God will not be mocked.
5 minutes ago on Church Militant it was reported that it is possible Pope Francis is more ill than official reports indicate; and there are are now rumours in Rome - a city always full of rumours - that Francis has had a heart attack.

I think the lung infection is not true as I watched the pope speak at his Wednesday audience, off-the-cuff and quite animated. A cardiac situation is more plausible and as I wrote in another post, he has an extended belly, overweight, and puffy looking which are signs of congestive heart failure which affects the lungs as the heart can’t pump fluid out. Prayers for the Holy Father
Pray that he revokes Traditiones Crudelis (Custodes) and fires the Roche
Fr. Mcdonald, I agree with your observation. Edema is a problem with congestive heart failure and the relatively recent bloating indicates something like that could be going on. The only thing I’ll say is that congestive heart failure can be treated successfully for years, but edema can get away from the doctors and cause respiratory issues that are at least as bad as the heart failure and can do you in much more quickly. A related issue in this cascade of failures is kidney failure that also prevents proper fluid management.
O God, Shepherd and Ruler of all thy faithful, look mercifully upon Thy servant, Pope Francis, whom thou hast chosen as shepherd to preside over Thy Church. Grant him, we beseech Thee, that by his word and example, he may edify those over whom he hath charge, so that together with the flock committed to him, may he attain everlasting life. Through the same Christ, our Lord, Amen
Sorry this is off topic, but after listening to Michael Knowles yesterday on the Daily Wire, I am about to open a Twitter account, and my first Tweet will be a short quote from St Paul’s letter to the Romans and the Catholic Catechism on homosexuality; in order to find out if it is true I will quickly be cancelled, kicked off the Twitter platform.
Back to Pope Francis: (on Church Militant) I was impressed by Michael Voris’s moving, sincere and genuine call for people to pray for His Holiness.
As early as yesterday, one of my contacts, who knows an unnamed close source in Rome also said that the word under the table was heart attack.
Then again, that's double-hearsay evidence. But we do know that the Vatican doesn't have a track record of being particularly open about these things.
We will ultimately see him either return to work or leave this earth. "Resignation" is not in the vocabulary of this type. Even all the way down here we can see the Geritol-fed, artery-hardened, medicated-but-on-the-job grip of That 70's Church clinging to its authority until the last gasp is taken.
One wonders too, if stress isn’t getting to His Holiness. The synodal way is creating schism and apostasy. The ever present nightmare of sex abuse was exacerbated by the Zollner resignation and bomb throwing at the complete flop Francis’ reform of the Curia, confusion he has created and blatant inconsistencies in implementing policies to weed out abusers. And then is stupid canceling of two previous pope’s liturgical agenda leads to billboards all over Rome on Wednesday supporting previous papal magisterial teachings on the TLM which Francis has refuted. This all is a catastrophe for him in particular and the papacy and Church in general. I’d have a heart attack too!
I wish him what he wishes me!
Father McDonald, I doubt that stress has sidelined His Holiness. Pope Francis is a believer in Jesus Christ. In turn, Pope Francis is blessed with the monumental peace and happiness that one receives from Jesus Christ.
In addition, Pope Francis is aware that he enjoys the overwhelming amount of the Holy People of God's love and respect. That alone would negate the negativity that has flowed from those who have badmouthed him.
Pope Francis has, time and again, during audiences, as well as Apostolic Visits, received tremendous love, and joy, from those present.
In light of all of the above, it is beyond comprehension that Pope Francis permitted, for example, a handful of billboards in Rome to have contributed to his hospitalization.
That is, unless people had drawn mustaches on pictures of his face.
:-)
Again, Pope Francis has Jesus Christ. His Holiness is under Divine protection. The overwhelming amount of the Holy People of God stand with Pope Francis.
Therefore, why should Pope Francis permit another person's negativity to send him (Pope Francis) to the hospital?
Pax.

From Cindy Wooden:
"Vatican shares medical bulletin saying #PopeFrancis has bronchitis & is receiving intravenous antibiotics. There has been "a marked improvement" in his condition & he "could be discharged in the coming days."
Deo gratias.
