"[R]eports of the pope's incapacity are premature, said George Weigel, a papal biographer. Weigel said he dined with John Paul, 83, last Monday and found him 'strikingly stronger than in October,' when the pope presided over the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of his papacy. 'I thought then we were in the final phase. But he's fooled us again,' Weigel said." Being fooled in this manner is always a happy occasion. May God grant him good health and many more years.
