Pope Francis: Health setback - Clinic stays extended!

Gemelli-Klinik, 00168 Rom, Italien - Pope's health of Pope Francis causes concern. The 88-year-old had to be treated in the Gemelli Clinic in Rome for bronchitis that has been plagued for over a week. His spokesman Matteo Bruni reported that the Pope had spent a "quiet night" in the hospital and worked in good spirits after he had had breakfast and read newspapers. Nevertheless, because of his health problems, Francis has to do without planned events. So this Sunday he will not be able to take part in the celebrations for the anniversary year of the deacons, such as vienna.at

treatments and cancellations

like Br.de , the bronchitis from which the Pope suffers was the reason for the cancellation of the anniversary audience planned for Saturday. The service intended for the celebrations in St. Peter's Basilica is headed by Curial Cardinal José Tolentino de Mendonça. A visit to the Roman Cinecittà film studios on Monday also had to be canceled because the doctors Francis Francis have prescribed strict calm.

The Pontifex has been suffering from health problems for a long time. He has had to cancel already planned appearances in the past, and his respiratory tract causes him particularly difficulties in winter. In fact, he had to end an outdoor mass prematurely due to shortness of breath. Francis, who has entered history as the second oldest Pope, now requires intensive medical care, while he is treated in the Gemelli Clinic, which is specially reserved for popes,
