Pope's health: Working about Francis - stable but critical!
Pope Francis is still seriously ill and has been in the Gemelli Clinic in Rome for 19 days. On Monday, he experienced several breathing crises that made an oxygen release necessary. However, the Vatican reported on Tuesday that his state of health remains stable but complex. A light renal failure was also found that seems to be recovering. The treating doctors are carefully optimistic, but still keep the forecast as uncertain, while the Pope is still not out of life, as krone.at reported.
rumors about a possible resignation of the 88-year-old church head. Cardinal Francesco Coccoplami commented on this topic and confirmed that the Pope was open to the possibility of a resignation in the past if he was no longer able to perform his tasks in terms of health. On Tuesday, believers gathered on St. Peter's Square to pray for the sick Pope and pray the rosary, while speculation about a possible special meeting with the cardinals is in the room to advise on the next steps, according to hna.de.
The situation remains worrying because the Pope suffers from pneumonia on both sides. Doctors warn of the serious risks of such diseases in old age, especially the risk of sepsis that can arise from the respiratory tract infection. These complications make intensive medical care necessary. The loyalty and support of the faithful are shown by numerous prayers that are kept globally for the health of the Pope.
