Pope Francis, 88, has been hospitalized at Rome's Gemelli Hospital since February 14, 2025, due to double pneumonia. Despite an isolated respiratory crisis on February 22, his condition has stabilized. The Vatican reports he remains vigilant, continues to eat, and engages in routine activities within his hospital room. In a written message, the Pope expressed gratitude for the global prayers and support, stating he feels "supported by all God's people." He also met with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, and his deputy during his hospitalization. This marks the third consecutive week Pope Francis has been unable to lead the traditional Sunday Angelus prayer. The Vatican continues to monitor his health closely, with updates anticipated as he progresses in his recovery.
