    Vatican officials revealed Monday evening that Pope Francis died of a cerebral stroke followed by a coma and ultimately "irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse."

    Professor Andrea Arcangeli, Director of the Directorate of Health and Hygiene of the Vatican City State, issued the official certification per the Holy See Press Office late Monday.

    Arcangeli confirmed the Pontiff's death through electrocardiographic thanatography, stating, "I hereby declare that the causes of death, to the best of my knowledge and judgment, are as stated."

    The report listed the time of death as 7:35 a.m. on Monday, with the causes of death listed as a "stroke," leading to a "coma," and eventually "irreversible cardiocirculatory collapse," per Vatican News.

    The brief report noted the Pope had a "previous episode of acute respiratory failure in the context of bilateral multimicrobial pneumonia" and suffered from "multiple bronchiectasis," "Arterial hypertension," and "Type II diabetes" before his death early Monday.

    Professor Arcangeli's certification follows standard Vatican protocol for documenting the death of a pontiff, with the use of electrocardiographic thanatography providing medically precise confirmation of the time of cardiac death.


    The Pope had been in and out of the hospital for two months prior to his death, battling various respiratory illnesses necessitating a constant flow of supplemental oxygen and at least one emergency blood transfusion, per the New York Post.

    Pope Francis' death marks a pivotal moment for the world's 1.3 billion Catholics, who now await the selection of a new spiritual leader.

Now that President Trump is picking his cabinet and immediate staff to insulate him from the poor judgement of the Bureaucratic Class, while moving quickly to transition this Constitutional Republic unto a wise and sustainable direction: What is your immediate impression as to how our nation will prosper?

  We are headed toward a Golden Age in America's self-governed society.

  This will all wind up in a clustered mess since Trump is a Fascist, and thought to be the second coming of Adolf Hitler by our best journalists.

  This is a time where critical days lay ahead, where only wise and responsible decisions must be made to sustain US.

  I generally do not pay attention, but expect only the best to occur ... and that is what I always expect.
