Vatican Reports Pope Francis’ Recovery from Pneumonia
Pope Francis, aged 88, is currently hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital due to double pneumonia. Despite the severity of his condition, he remains in good spirits and continues to engage in work from his hospital room. The Vatican has reported a slight improvement in his health, with his heart functioning well and no fever present.
However, his recovery is expected to be prolonged, and he is not yet out of danger. Doctors have indicated that his treatment will continue for at least another week to ensure a thorough recovery, as there are ongoing risks of potential complications. In the interim, Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra is facilitating communication between the Pope and various Vatican departments to ensure the continuity of administrative functions.
The Vatican has canceled all of the Pope’s public engagements through Sunday as he focuses on his recovery. The faithful worldwide continue to offer prayers for his health and well-being.
