You can sense how much some of the Church’s hierarchy are hoping for a different pope in some of the anonymous comments in “Pope Breathing on Own Again; No Infection/a.” It is not as overt as some articles are, thankfully, but it is still really sad to hear about people hoping to capitalize on our Pope’s death. The BBC has a slightly different article on this, “Pope ‘is breathing for himself’/a,” which thinks there are “ethical problems as to whether and to what extent his life should be preserved by artificial means.”
