The Archbishop of Puerto Montt in Chile had this to say about the pope's health:
"He wants to be faithful to the end, with much personal sacrifice," Archbishop Caro stated. "You can see how he gets weaker every day. Some days he has difficulty breathing and speaking, but on other days he is better," he added."He is an amazing example, especially today when Euthanasia has been approved in some European countries," the archbishop continued. The Pope shows us that suffering is difficult but has meaning, "because with those sufferings he is united to Christ, and that helps bring salvation to the world, and that is the meaning of the Cross."
I find this particularly interesting because I went to mass with Msgr. Christian Caro once when I was in Chile. I didn't know he had become Archbishop of Puerto Montt. He was visiting Santiago when I met him, I was introduced to him by my Confessor, a priest of the Prelature of Opus Dei. He [my confessor] said "Here, go to mass with him." And that was it. It was cool.
