Pope Francis: Stable health gives hope for early recovery!
Vatican city, February 26, 2025 - Good news from the Vatican: The health of Pope Francis has improved slightly after the last 24 hours, as the Vatican press office announced today. Despite this positive development, the forecast remains uncertain. Computer tomography showed no alarming changes in the course of its pneumonia on both sides, but the 88-year-old Pope suffered the last few days with simultaneous, light kidney failure. The oxygen therapy, which has been carried out since last Saturday, shows initial successes: On Wednesday, the Pope had no shortness of breath, which causes concerned believers to breathe a sigh of relief. It has been in the Gemelli Clinic in Rome since February 14th
Cardinal Matteo Zupi, the chairman of the Italian Bishops' Conference, emphasized that many people without faith pray for the Pope. "We continue to pray for him with a lot of trust, a lot of hope," said Zuppi during an event in the Italian parliament and added that numerous citizens are together in this difficult time in order to pray for the quick recovery of the church head. Meanwhile, prayers on St. Peter's Square are continued and cover a wide range of support services, both from believers and non-believing, such as kathpress.at reported.
