The MSM keeps talking about how much the Pope is suffering.
He has all the meds that he needs. He has the best medical care that money can buy. He isn't suffering.

5. homeless people are suffering
VA residents are suffering.

The Pope has the best care in the world, besides the fact that he probably isn't lucid anymore.

I doubt he's suffering right now, if he's still alive.

2. The MSM wants you as emotional and distracted as possible
just what their fat cat bosses and the White House want.

3. Lots of interviews with "Joe Catholic On The Street"
I'm amazed at how many of these people have said things like "God teaches us through suffering."

If what they're wishing for is suffering, I could help them. I can help them achieve all the suffering-induced wisdom they want.

4. You know, I keep hearing about those children's charities. I wonder
how many children's lives could have been saved if the church would start using its money to save the lives of orphaned children instead of using it to cover up their abuse of children.

6. He has had Parkinson's for years
The pope has been barely able to function for years due to Parkinsons - that is suffering. Consistent with your argument people paralyzed from the neck down who are well cared for in the hospital are not suffering.
