Pope Francis skipped a planned Mass on Thursday due to illness. The Vatican did not elaborate, saying only that he had a “slight indisposition”.

The long list of high-ranking Iranian government officials who have contracted the coronavirus has just gotten longer: Iranian media announced on Thursday that Masoumeh Ebtekar, the current Vice President of Iran for Women and Family Affairs, tested positive for the coronavirus. 


Ironically,  Ebtekar was elected as the President of the 12th International Congress of Immunology in 2013. Not so ironically, she first came to prominence as the spokesperson for the students in the Iran hostage crisis of 1979, when the students occupied the U.S. Embassy and held 52 Americans hostage for 444 days. Ebtekar was identified only with the codename “Sister Mary.” She appeared on U.S. and British television justifying the seizure of the embassy and saying that she was prepared to kill American hostages

Iran is the hardest-hit country by the coronavirus outside of China, with the government announcing that 12 people had died from the virus and an additional 61 infections had been diagnosed.

Iranian authorities announced on Thursday that the death toll in the country from coronavirus stood at 26 with 245 identified cases. 

But these data have been questioned.  The Guardian and  AFP cited the semi-official ILNA news agency that reported the claims of Ahmad Amirabadi Farahani, a government official from the city of Qom, as saying that at least 50 people have died in that city alone. Farahani claimed that 250 people are quarantined in the city.


Mojtaba Zonnour, the Chairman of the Iranian parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission, announced on Twitter that he also tested positive for the virus. It is important to note that  Zonnour represents the city of Qom in parliament. The city, considered holy and a Muslim pilgrimage site, has been hit hard by the coronavirus. 

Iraj Harirchi, Iran’s, deputy health minister and department spokesman, made a video announcement on Tuesday on Fars News, the semi-official news agency of the Government of Iran, that he has tested positive for the Covid-19 coronavirus but that “we will definitely defeat the corona.” 

IRNA News reported that Iran’s former Ambassador to Vatican Sayyed Hadi Khosroshahi died on Thursday, one day after being admitted to the hospital with the coronavirus.

Pope Francis canceled a special church service on Thursday due to illness. In the announcement, the Vatican did not specify the nature of the illness, but Pope Francis was seen coughing and blowing his nose during Ash Wednesday Mass the previous day. 


The Pope is 83 years old and the elderly are particularly susceptible to the respiratory ailment. The Pope is missing a part of one lung. It was removed when he was in his early 20s in his native Buenos Aires after he suffered from tuberculosis, according to biographer Austen Ivereigh.

At the Ash Wednesday ceremony in St. Peter’s Square where he greeted the crowd, many of whom wore surgical masks, and even hugged people. At the event, the Pope expressed solidarity with sufferers of the coronavirus.

Speaking on Wednesday during the General Audience in St. Peter’s Square, the Pope said, “I wish, again, to express my closeness to those who are ill with coronavirus and to health-care workers who are caring for them.”

He later greeted visiting bishops who were reportedly distant, refraining from kissing his ring or embracing him as they normally would.
Italy reported 500 cases of the pandemic and 12 deaths so far. 
The World Health Organisation reported in February that, on average, 80 percent of the cases of coronavirus report only mild, flu-like symptoms, and just 2 percent of cases have resulted in death. While COVID-19 has a far lower death rate than epidemics of similar viruses such as SARS or MERS, it has spread far wider.
Globally, more than 80,000 people in about 40 countries have been infected with the new coronavirus, which emerged in December. The vast majority remain in China. Covid-19, the respiratory disease caused by the virus, has killed more than 2,700 people so far.

900-year-old prophecy claims Pope Francis will mark doomsday
ATTENTION: The views and opinions expressed in the following article does not reflect those of End Time Headlines

OPINION (Express) – The end of the world was allegedly forecasted almost 900 years ago by an Irish Saint, who some believe claimed there would be only one more Pope after Benedict XVI. Saint Malachy was the Archbishop of Armagh, to whom several miracles were attributed to in the 12th century.

In 1139, Malachy went to Rome from Ireland to give an account of his affairs, when he reportedly received a strange vision about the future, including the names of 112 future Popes. His predictions are taken seriously by many Christians and according to reports “In 1958, before the Conclave that would elect Pope John XXIII, Cardinal Spellman of New York hired a boat,

filled it with sheep and sailed up and down the Tiber River”. This was to show he was “pastor et nautor,” or “pastor and sailor” the motto attributed to the next pope in the prophecies. As for the prophecy concerning the 111th pope, Pope Benedict XVI, the prophecy says of him, “Gloria Olivae,” which means “the glory of the Olive”. The Order of Saint Benedict is also known as the Olivetans, which many claims make Malachy’s prophecies correct. READ MORE

In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman

Saint Malachy

It reads: "In the final persecution of the Holy Roman Church there will reign Peter the Roman, who will feed his flock amid many tribulations, after which the seven-hilled city will be destroyed and the dreadful Judge will judge the people. The End.”

The father of the current pope was Pietro, or Peter, and was from Italy even though the family moved to Argentina.

The prophecy of the popes was first published by Benedictine monk Arnold Wion in 1595, attributing the claims to Malachy.

Given the very accurate description of popes up to around 1590 and lack of accuracy for the popes that follow, historians generally conclude that the alleged prophecy is a fabrication written shortly before publication.

One theory to explain the prophecy's creation put forward by 17th-century French priest Louis Moreri, is that it was spread by Cardinal Girolamo Simoncelli in support of his own bid to become pope during the 1590 conclave to replace Urban VII.

In the prophecy, the pope following Urban VII is given the description "Ex antiquitate Urbis" or ”from the old city", and Simoncelli was from Orvieto, which in Latin is Urbevetanum, old city. 

Moreri and others proposed the prophecy was created in an unsuccessful attempt to demonstrate that Simoncelli was destined to be pope.

It is not the only piece of ancient text that is said to read the future, though.

Many have also claimed Nostradamus – a French astrologer, physician and foreseer – predicted the end of the world in his "Les Propheties”.

The Science Channel’s “Nostradamus Decoded” claimed he made a reference to Armageddon in the preface of his famous text.

The narrator said in 2013: “Although he lived five centuries ago, Nostradamus claimed he could see well into the future.

“For all his vague language, those predictions point to the end of the world.

“The reference to the year 3797 is not coded in [the] quatrains, but is mentioned in the preface of his book of prophecies and its literal meaning is not a warning, but a confession.

“3797 could be a coded celestial reference considering Nostradamus’ frequent use of astrology and astronomy."

However, Douglas Kibbee, Professor of French history at the University of Illinois says there is a simple reason why this is not true.
He argued: “Nostradamus was giving his prophecies, he said they would be valid from the day that he wrote his preface, which was 1555, until the year 3797, he couldn’t see beyond that.
“That doesn’t mean that it’s the end of the world. 
It just means that it was as far as he could see.”
