Does the Pope Have Cancer?



From Belfast Telegraph:



"POPE John Paul II is maintaining his busy schedule despite reports of his current illness which some sources suggest may be cancer.

Last weekend the Vatican stated that the Pope was experiencing 'minor intestinal problems', but significantly Papal sources have not yet denied current reports in some Italian newspapers that the 'intestinal problems' may be cancerous.



A spokesperson for the Catholic Information Office in Dublin told the Belfast Telegraph: 'We are not aware of the exact nature of the illness and we have had no information from the Vatican about this, since the statement last week.



'Therefore we can neither confirm nor deny the claims that he is suffering from cancer. "
