@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori Well...

Francis appointed 16 new cardinals going to 132, but thankfully and susprisingly only a very few bad ones... he held it earlier then expected. Number of cardinal electors won't go below 120 for more than a year.

His new curia document mainly leaves the next pope with even more of a free hand. Its exact implications are still unclear.

Multiple trips had to be cancelld cause of Francis' great health.

In prohibiting Latin Rite Priests to celebrate the Tridentine Rite (The adjective Tridentine refers to any thing or person pertaining to the city of Trent, Italy (Latin: Tridentum). ) Francis is "anathema" for stating the Roman Catholic Rite of Mass is inducive to hostility and discord.

"CANON VI.--If any one saith, that the canon of the mass contains errors, and is therefore to be abrogated; let him be anathema."
Council of Trent, On the Sacrifice of the Mass

Church Teaching on the Mass:

"Let all everywhere adopt and observe what has been handed down by the Holy Roman Church, the Mother and Teacher of the other churches, and let Masses not be sung or read according to any other formula than that of this Missal published by Us. This ordinance applies henceforth, now, and forever, throughout all the provinces of the Christian world, to all patriarchs, cathedral churches, collegiate and parish churches, be they secular or religious, both of men and of women - even of military orders - and of churches or chapels without a specific congregation in which conventual Masses are sung aloud in choir or read privately in accord with the rites and customs of the Roman Church. This Missal is to be used by all churches, even by those which in their authorization are made exempt, whether by Apostolic indult, custom, or privilege, or even if by oath or official confirmation of the Holy See, or have their rights and faculties guaranteed to them by any other manner whatsoever.
" Encyclical "Quo Primum" (Promulgating the Tridentine Liturgy) by Pope St. Pius V, 1570

"We specifically command each and every patriarch, administrator, and all other persons or whatever ecclesiastical dignity they may be, be they even cardinals of the Holy Roman Church, or possessed of any other rank or pre-eminence, and We order them in virtue of holy obedience to chant or to read the Mass according to the rite and manner and norm herewith laid down by Us and, hereafter, to discontinue and completely discard all other rubrics and rites of other missals, however ancient, which they have customarily followed; and they must not in celebrating Mass presume to introduce any ceremonies or recite any prayers other than those contained in this Missal.
" Encyclical "Quo Primum" (Promulgating the Tridentine Liturgy) by Pope St. Pius V, 1570

Church Teaching on the Missal Used at Mass:
"All other of the churches referred to above, however, are hereby denied the use of other missals, which are to be discontinued entirely and absolutely; whereas, by this present Constitution, which will be valid henceforth, now, and forever, We order and enjoin that nothing must be added to Our recently published Missal, nothing omitted from it, nor anything whatsoever be changed within it under the penalty of Our displeasure.
" Encyclical "Quo Primum" (Promulgating the Tridentine Liturgy) by Pope St. Pius V, 1570

"Furthermore, by these presents [this law], in virtue of Our Apostolic authority, We grant and concede in perpetuity that, for the chanting or reading of the Mass in any church whatsoever, this Missal is hereafter to be followed absolutely, without any scruple of conscience or fear of incurring any penalty, judgment, or censure, and may freely and lawfully be used. Nor are superiors, administrators, canons, chaplains, and other secular priests, or religious, of whatever title designated, obliged to celebrate the Mass otherwise than as enjoined by Us. We likewise declare and ordain that no one whosoever is forced or coerced to alter this Missal, and that this present document cannot be revoked or modified, but remain always valid and retain its full force notwithstanding the previous constitutions and decrees of the Holy See, as well as any general or special constitutions or edicts of provincial or synodal councils, and notwithstanding the practice and custom of the aforesaid churches, established by long and immemorial prescription - except, however, if more than two hundred years' standing.

Thank you! I was just guessing (as well as praying) that when the time comes, (and from what I have read in several posts here, and on other sites, is that Francis is actually seriously ill despite his or Vatican cover-ups). Remembering about John XXIII and his illness of stomach cancer, he was diagnosed at the end of 1961, but still managed to carry on fairly well despite obvious signs of a decline in appearance, for nearly 18 months. He was still getting up and going to work and officiating at ceremonies up to four weeks before his death. Another guess of mine is that things will go along as if normal for another 2-3 months. Then Francis will start cancelling audiences or appearances. That will become more frequent, until everyone knows that something is wrong. He will experience a crisis, perhaps be transferred to the Policlinico Agostino Gemelli (hospital where he was operated on and that JPII used many times), and after a few days he will either die there, or be transported back to the Vatican and die there shortly after. I'm not a doctor (mu uncle is , but if Francis has intestinal or stomach cancer, he could hast for 2 years. But if it's metastasized, or if it's in the pancreas, he'd be gone in 6 months. I don't wish anyone illness like that....but I do believe it's all true.....and more so than we know.
