Pope Francis: Comeback on Sunday after long recovery!

On April 4, 2025, Pope Francis supporters recover from a serious hospital stay, while hope for his soon comeback is growing. The 88-year-old Pope had been treated in the Roman Gemelli Clinic for more than five weeks, where he temporarily hovered in mortal danger. Doctors report improvements in breathing and speaking, which gives rise to confidence that he could appear publicly next Sunday. The next Sunday prayer could take place under "changed circumstances", since Francis had previously published his speech on the Angelus prayer in writing. During his time in the hospital, the Pope was able to make progress thanks to intensive medical treatment, whereby his inflammatory values decreased.

Francis continued to receive intensive management of his illness, including high doses of oxygen at night and lower during the day. To support his recovery, he not only receives medication, but also physiotherapy for his breathing and motor skills. The Pope had left the hospital on March 23 after being in a critical condition and returned to the Vatican for further recovery in the guest house in Santa Marta.

health recovery

Georg Bätzing, the chairman of the German Bishops' Conference, has made a relieved comment on the improved state of health of the Pope and emphasizes that Francis is aware of his health restrictions, but still wants to actively shape the Catholic Church. Bätzing describes the Pope as intelligent and is reminiscent of his belonging to the Jesuit order. These developments hope for a reform of the line style within the Catholic Church, which aims at dialogue and willingness to compromise

The need for relaxation after the serious illness was highlighted by the treating doctor, Professor Sergio Alfieri. He warned that Francis has to spare himself at least two months before he can resume his work. It remains unclear whether the Pope will take part in the upcoming Easter celebrations. However, his health is a top priority, which is why he should avoid contacts to protect himself from further infections.

political conversations

The public appearance of Francis could be important for both the Catholic Church and the global community, since it continuously emphasizes the need for dialogue and understanding in times of crisis. Observers from all over the world are eagerly waiting for his return to public life and hope for positive impulses for the Catholic Church and its followers.
