Pope Francis is not sick despite a crazy, messed scandal

 Pope Francis has been criticized for his unconventional approach to his leadership with many saying he has gone out of the christian tradition most times, when he tries to gain public sympathy.  Ever since Pope Francis returned from his triumphant visit to the United States, he has been on the news for one controversy  or the order.   Just last week he was rumored to be suffering  from a brain tumor,  cardinals resisting reform and ideological battles over everything from the theology of marriage to the Vatican's cigarette sales.

Today, the Vatican had issued a series of statements disputing reports the rumors and confirmation that two Italian journalists were now under investigation by Vatican magistrates for their involvement in the latest scandal over leaked documents.

Pope Francis talks ahead of his lunch at a soup kitchen in Florence, Italy. During his pastoral trip to Florence, Francis chose to eat lunch not with the Tuscan church hierarchy but rather with Florence's poor. He lined up with a few dozen people at a Caritas soup kitchen, getting a registration card like everyone else and tucking into a typical Florentine ribollita bean soup served on plastic plates with plastic utensils.
