The health status of Pope Francis continues to generate concern around the world. On his fifth day of hospitalization at Gemelli for a respiratory infection, Romans and Italian citizens are expressing different opinions about the evolution of the pontiff.
In the vicinity of the hospital, Teresa, an Italian citizen, appeared distrustful about the future of the pope's health, although she relies on receiving updated information day by day. She expressed her wishes for a speedy recovery for Francis, but also acknowledged his advanced age.
The latest communication from the Holy See mentioned that the pope had a quiet night and was dedicating part of his time to reading newspapers and documents received from his secretaries. While he has been advised to rest completely, it was reported that he is still carrying out some work activities in the hospital.
It was confirmed that Francis will not participate in Vatican events until Sunday, being replaced at the Jubilee Mass for Deacons by Rino Fisichella. There is uncertainty about whether he will be able to recite the Angelus from the hospital or will send it in writing.
Recent information indicates that the pope remains stable, without fever, and continues the prescribed treatment for the respiratory infection. An update on his condition is awaited in the coming hours, especially following the detection of a polymicrobial infection that has led to a modification of his therapy.
In this context, some express their confidence in Francis's speedy recovery, highlighting his importance and work during difficult times. On the other hand, there are those who show skepticism and demand greater clarity regarding the health situation of the pontiff.
