Whether or not he's ill, he is 91 years old. We should pray for him. Ad multos annos, Papa Benedictus!
From Gloria.tv
The Brazilian Veja.com reports (September 19) that former Benedict XVI, 91, suffers from Parkinsons’s disease.
Referring to anonymous sources close to Benedict the report claims that the first signs of the disease appeared one year before Benedict's resignation during his trip to Mexico and Cuba (March 2012).
The Vatican press office has denied the claim: “The Pope emeritus is fine. His ‘illness’ are his 91 years.”
In February, Monsignor Georg Ratzinger stated that his brother suffers from a "paralysis” that could affect his heart.
This was also denied by the Vatican press office although it is unlikely that the press office is better informed about such matters than Benedict's own brother.

Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Francis as the Vicar of Christ (I know he's a material heretic and a Protector of Perverts, and I definitely want him gone yesterday! However, he is Pope, and I pray for him every day.), the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
