Pope Had Secret Heart Surgery!!!

Pope Had Secret Heart Surgery

For those of you craving a scandal, you may be disappointed. Pope Benedict XVI, who announced his retirement yesterday, reportedly had secret heart surgery three months ago to replace his pacemaker. The Vatican released a statement saying that the Pope has been in fact wearing a pacemaker for “some time,” but that his health is good. The newspaper II Sole 24 says that the 85-year-old has had a pacemaker for the last ten years. The surgery went well, and the Pope maintained his schedule, but it reportedly made him think about whether he was fit to stay in power.

Catholic world in shock after resignation … what next for Pope Benedict?

VATICAN CITY (AFP) – The Catholic Church faced a tricky transition on Tuesday as it prepared to elect a new pope, with many faithful still reeling from the shock resignation of Pope Benedict XVI.

The 85-year-old Benedict told a group of cardinals in a speech in Latin on Monday that he will step down on February 28 because he could no longer fulfil his duties in a fast-changing world — the first pope to resign of his own free will in more than 700 years.

A report in Italian daily Il Sole 24 Ore said that Benedict underwent heart surgery less than three months ago to replace his pacemaker — an operation that was kept out of the public eye.

While the surgery went well, the report quoted advisors as saying that it made the pope reflect on whether he could continue to guide the Church.

The Vatican has emphasised that the momentous decision was not due to any specific illness and said the pope will retire to a monastery building inside the Vatican — creating an unprecedented situation in which the new pope and his predecessor will live in the same place.

Who gives a shit. It's just a pacemaker. Why is this crap pinned?

Impossible! He doesn't have a heart

He has a heart?

Many people his age require pacemakers. My Dad continued to plow 500 acres every spring after he got his. No reason to retire, on its own.

don't be bad...

maybe it made Him think to stay or not above ground..expecting a BIG CME../ in other words His fate may be in Other hands

Sorry

Why do they hide the Pope's health issues, he is missing an important chance to educate his parishioners. Is it because they think people will see his ill health as a sign of God's ill will?
They should be open enough to say, at the time "The Pope has Prostate Surgery" or whatever.

Its a good thing God invented pacemakers then is all I can say.

Oh no that would have been an Canadian atheist scientist by the name of John Hopps.

Last night, lightning struck St. Peters in Vatican City, just after the Pope resigned. Some eery details right here: [link to wxch.nl]

You would think that he could actually heal himself with the help of the heavenly one?

Good morning Luis. The whole resignation is very bizarre. First the dove incident..only two weeks ago. Then this lightening strike..

Something is rotten in Rome....

Will the truth be soon revealed????

you can bet on it... this new pope that will be elected, will be the last pope... i'm shure of it!

Yes, ITA!

This +1

So most nobody bought the story the triex so now they embellish it.

I don't think this one ever really wanted to be Pope in the first place.

But maybe this will be the new norm, to retire when one becomes unable to perform the normal duties. I think that's a good idea.

while hospitalized for the surgery he also aknowledged that a sex change is now possible...

so he decided to quit to be go transgender

Some poor chinise fellow Has to go without a heart now?

There is this psychic, Blair Robertson, who "saw" in 2010, the death of the pope. He said it was going to happen "within a year". Nothing happened of course, but I receive his newsletter every week and yesterday he send one talking about what he saw and didn't fullfill, but he confirmed again that we were going to hear soon that, at some point in the past, the life of the pope was at risk (he mentioned "very close to death") but that fact was well kept secret for "political reasons". Could this be what he saw? Interesting finding..

Healing is the Children’s Bread

The next Pope will be Argentinian, YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST.

what's his name?
