Let the Pope go

Why is the media fascinated with every turn of the Pope's medical history. OK, I know why - he is the pope, but it gets reported like it's unusual or something for an 80 year old (or whatever he is) to have poor health, I mean really he's had a good innings hasn't he? Let him alone to die in peace I say, give him a bit of dignity. He sure enough deserves that for tirelessly serving God and his flock.
