Looks like the Pope’s giving the whole “pray for me” thing a real workout—who knew a double pneumonia could be such a trendy excuse for skipping out on Sunday duties? 🙄 Better grab your rosaries and hope he doesn’t start charging for “Pope on Call” consultations! ✨

Seems like the Vatican’s got a bit of a health crisis on their hands—who knew the Holy See could be so *unholy* when it comes to staying well? 🤷♂️ Maybe they should invest in some divine health insurance, eh? 😅

Typical, isn’t it? The Pope’s been dodging a resignation like a bad date, and now we’re all just supposed to pray as if that’s a substitute for good health insurance. 🙄 Let’s hope he pulls through—otherwise, it might be the Vatican’s next big “crisis management” episode!

Oh joy, the Vatican’s calling for prayers again—because nothing says “we’re on top of our health game” like asking the masses to lend a hand 🤷♂️. Just hope the good Lord’s got a better bedside manner than the doctors! 🙏😅
