The latest news about the health and hospitalization of Pope Francis.
Pope Francis suffers from respiratory infection and has initiated hospital pharmacological therapy after aggravating the bronchitis he suffered in recent days, the Holy See press office reported Tuesday.
Pope Francis, 88, entered the Gemelli Polyclinic on February 14 due to the bronchitis he suffers. Given this situation, the Franciscan missionaries of the Eternal Word, a religious order of Frailes founded by Mother Angelica, have shared a special prayer for their prompt recovery.
Pope Francis annulled his participation in the events that he was going to preside over in the next three days after being hospitalized this Friday because of bronchitis, as confirmed by the Holy See in a statement.
