Pope Francis: Despite long recovery in the hospital

Pope Francis, the 88-year-old head of the Catholic Church, is on the way of improvement despite his state of health, but remains dependent on oxygen supply. According to information from the Vatican, it can now survive short periods of time without oxygen cannulas. This is a result of the continued therapy in the Gemelli Clinic, which he has been going through since he was entered on February 14th. The oxygen requirement has decreased so that it no longer needs constantly high quantities. Nevertheless, recovery remains lengthy, and it is predicted that weeks could pass before it is fully recovered. The last acute breathing crisis that he suffered due to bronchitis and pneumonia was two weeks ago. Kap also reported that the swelling in the right hand of the Pope has decreased, which is due to the lack of exercise.

In a further connection, the Pope celebrated its one -year anniversary on Monday. Since his election, he has shown himself as a modest and inspiring head. The prelate Bertram Meier describes him as the "Pope of the Great Gestures" and emphasizes his commitment to the arms, which he symbolizes by his name as the successor of St. Francis of Assisi. The request of a cardinal, not to forget the poor, was a central appeal from the start to the new Pope. Pope Francis has clearly spoken out for material reluctance and support for the needy. These social issues remain in the focus of his pontificate, as in the reports of Allgäu
