Pope Francis, the 88-year-old leader of the Catholic Church, underwent bronchoaspiration after inhaling vomit during a coughing fit on February 28. The Pope, who has been battling double pneumonia for the past two weeks, was placed on non-invasive mechanical ventilation but remained conscious and alert throughout the procedure, according to the Vatican.
Pope Francis has been receiving treatment at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital since February 14. The Holy See Office released an official statement on February 26, confirming signs of improvement in his health. “The Holy Father’s condition has shown a slight further improvement over the past 24 hours. The mild kidney insufficiency observed in recent days has subsided. A chest CT scan carried out last night showed a normal progression of the lung inflammation. Blood tests today informed the improvement seen yesterday,” the statement read.
The Pope’s health has been a growing concern given his age and recent health struggles. Despite this, the Vatican reassured the public that his condition is stabilizing, with doctors closely monitoring his progress.
Pastor Baljinder’s ‘Miraculous Healing’ Gains Attention Amid Pope’s Illness
As news of the Pope’s illness spread, netizens turned to social media, drawing parallels with Pastor Baljinder Singh from Punjab, known for his viral videos of ‘miraculous healing.’ Social media users jokingly suggested that only Pastor Baljinder could cure the Pope. One X user commented, “Critical? Are you implying that treatment by Baljinder is not effective?”
Pastor Baljinder rose to fame through his ‘bolneee lagiiiii’ video, where he allegedly healed a speech-impaired girl. However, his fame turned controversial when the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) intervened, accusing him of using a minor for forced religious conversion. Authorities are now investigating the matter, highlighting concerns over superstition and child exploitation.
As the world watches the Pope’s health closely, social media continues to react in its own unique way, blending concern with viral humor.
