Nostradamus Prophecy: Did The French Astrologer Foresee Pope’s Death And Vatican’s Collapse?

Catholics across the world have been praying for Pope Francis’ health since the pontiff was admitted to the Gemelli hospital in Rome on February 14 with breathing difficulties. The 88-year-old’s condition has since worsened, but the Vatican reported the pope spent a “peaceful” night and was “resting” on Monday.

Pope Francis’ initial bronchitis diagnosis developed into double pneumonia. On Sunday, doctors reported that blood tests showed “early, slight kidney insufficiency“ that was nevertheless under control. They said Francis remained in critical condition but that he hadn’t experienced any further respiratory crises since Saturday.

Doctors have warned that the main threat facing Francis is sepsis, a serious infection of the blood that can occur as a complication of pneumonia.

The condition of the pope, who had part of one of his lungs removed as a young man, has fueled speculation about whether he might recover but then resign.

He has always left the door open to following his predecessor, Benedict XVI, who in 2013 became the first pope since the Middle Ages to step down because of his physical and mental health. But Francis has repeatedly said it was not the time yet.
