Sergio Alferi, the doctor who has operated on Pope Francis’ abdomen twice, does not notice “any worrying situation” in the Pontiff’s health, as detailed in an interview with the Italian newspaper. Corriere della Sera.
In his opinion, “the Holy Father adapts well to his age and his occasional breathing difficulties in the coldest seasons, also due to the previous lung operation he underwent many years ago.”
It has been these difficulties that in recent weeks have prevented him from reading aloud most of his speeches and homilies, although this Wednesday in the general audience he has not shown those signs of respiratory weakness.
