    Hopefully it is "just a cold" as the AP is reporting.

    I hope so as well. I saw this yesterday and would hope that if they suspected something worse that he wouldn't be out greeting the people.

    I think people are internet "gossiping" because at the Pope's Ash Wednesday mass, he was consoling the crowd in Rome about coronavirus.

    I agree and hope you are right. Internet gossip can create a tsunami of fear which is, of course, its intent.

    Actually this Pope isn't as bad as some of them. He hasn't been able to achieve much but that's because of the conservatives. He only has to fix
    three things: the contraception nonsense, the abuse of gay people, and the child sex abuse scandal. Mind you, that's not trivial.

    This, of course, is fake news but will use this opportunity to wish the Pope many more healthy years.

    I should have posted this in a different section. Initially I had the post title starting with the words "Fake News?" and then the internet rumor about the Pope. I didn't realize that in this section, I needed to post the literal news headline. :oops:

    Sorry for any confusion....it did turn out to be Fake News, as presumed.

    And to be on the safe side, take large doses of Vitamin C as well. That's what the Chinese doctors are doing. Personally, I take 10 thousand units, but it's been a gradual increase.

    You could argue that capitalism is contrary to the christian faith - how does the phrase go: It would be easier for a rich man to pass through the eye of a needle than for him to ascend to Heaven...there should be no rich christians in the world....
