POPE HAS HAD SECOND STROKE |
Pope has had second stroke
The Times
Sunday, May 1, 2005
When the newly elected Pope Benedict XVI gave his
acceptance speech last month, he explained that he had
chosen his name primarily because the papacy of Benedict
XV had been "a short reign", writes Jon Follain.
Both the 78-year-old former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger and
the cardinals who elected him had given much thought to
his age and his health. Breaking a Vatican taboo, princes
of the church have now revealed that he has had a second
mild stroke within the past two years and that he also
suffers from a heart condition.
His ailments raise questions about how long his papacy
will last. Since his election Benedict, the oldest man to
become pope in 275 years, has at times been helped by an
aide to stand during church services.
The French cardinal Philippe Barbarin, of Lyons, said
that health problems following a first stroke in 1991 had
repeatedly prompted Ratzinger to ask his predecessor,
John Paul II, to release him from his job as the
Vatican's chief doctrinal enforcer so that he could
retire to Germany and write books.
"Ratzinger presented his resignation when he had his
first health problems in the early 1990s and also very
recently when he had new health problems, a stroke,"
Barbarin said in an interview.
Asked about the stroke, a cardinal from Latin America
said: "People also say he has heart problems. When
Ratzinger mentioned the brief papacy of Benedict XV, he
may have had a premonition that his health would not stay
with him."
Benedict XVI's brother Georg, 81, a priest, has appalled
many in the Vatican by speaking candidly of his concerns.
Georg said last weekend that he feared the task ahead
would be too much for his brother.
According to a biography by John Allen, Ratzinger's brain
haemorrhage in 1991 affected his vision and for the past
decade has had dizzy spells and difficulty sleeping.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone of Genoa, who has worked under
Ratzinger, said: "He has sufficient strength and his
doctor will follow him."

The terrorist mission of Jesus stated in the Christian bible:
"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not so send
peace, but a sword.
"For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the
daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in
law.
"And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
