Pope Francis: late all -clear after hospitalization!

Vatikanstadt, Italien - The Vatican decided on Friday evening that Pope Francis is said to have had a secret meeting with his closest consultants, Cardinal Pietro Parolin and the church rights expert Gianfranco Ghirlanda. This message, which was first found in the online news broadcaster Rai News 24, was rejected by the Press Office of the Holy Chair as "not correct".

According to information from the Vatican, the statements about a possible meeting between the Pope and his cardinals were particularly explosive, as they stoked concerns about the resignation of the 88-year-old parallel capita. In the hospital, Francis suffers from a severe polymic -robic respiratory infection and also has pneumonia on both sides, which has not yet been completely overcome. Professor Sergio Alfieri, who heads the treatment, confirmed on Friday that the Pope was not out of danger, but is currently not in an acute danger to life. He emphasized that the Pope would remain in the hospital for at least a week, but did not lose his humor, as an amusing exchange with him showed when he responded to a friendly greeting with a joke, as well as katholisch.de reported .

Preparations for the weekly fishing prayer on Sunday are in the suspension, since no decision has yet been made whether Francis can take part. In the past, he had also taken part in the hospital or by video in the past. The fact that the Vatican publishes such clear information about the health of the Pope is also a sign of the growing concern about his well -being, since his declaration of withdrawal, which slogans occurs, could be used in the event of a medical inability.
