Update: Pope rushed to Rome hospital with flu

The Holy Father is ill:

Pope John Paul was taken to hospital late on Tuesday, Italian media including national news agency Ansa and Sky Italia television said. The pope fell ill with influenza on Sunday and was forced to cancel all his engagements over the past two days. There was no immediate comment from the Vatican.

Let us pray.

The 84-year-old pope has been suffering from the flu since Sunday and apparently suffered a "breathing crisis," a Vatican official told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
