Doctors Give Pope Feeding Tube

HeadlineMar 30, 2005

The Vatican has announced the Pope is now being fed through a nasal tube. This comes a month after doctors inserted a tube in his throat to help him breathe. The Pope made a brief appearance earlier today. He made the sign of the Cross with his hand but was unable to speak. This year marked the first time during his papacy that he was unable to celebrate Easter Mass.
