Recovery for the 88-year-old Holy Father “will certainly not be imminent,” Vatican officials cautioned, indicating a potentially extended hospital stay.
The Vatican has issued a new update about Pope Francis who remained stable as he continued treatment for bilateral pneumonia at Rome's Gemelli Hospital.
TORVAIANICA, Italy (AP) — Moira Camila Garnica and a group of fellow migrant transgender women have been gathering at their parish church to pray for Pope Francis as he continues to battle pneumonia in a Rome hospital, about an hour away from this modest seaside town.
Pope Francis' health condition is “no longer critical,” but remains “complex.” So reports the Vatican. Pope Francis, meanwhile, has been hospitalized for more than two weeks with double pneumonia. The church leader “slept well” during the night from Sunday to Monday.
People in Rome and the Vatican are relying on their faith as they cope with the daily anxiety waiting to hear about the pope’s health.
