Pope Francis has been hospitalized for three weeks with ongoing respiratory issues, most recently experiencing a crisis. Although his condition is described as stable, he requires both oxygen therapy and rehabilitation efforts. The pontiff recently addressed pilgrims in St. Peter's Square through an audio message, thanking them for their prayers. The Vatican seeks transparency by regularly updating the public on his condition, although it sometimes refrains from issuing detailed medical bulletins when stability is confirmed.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your prayers for my health from the Square. I accompany you from here. May God bless you and the Virgin protect you.
The status on Friday was reported as stable in a complex picture, reflecting the ongoing challenges of the pope's health since his admission.
Francis has been receiving respiratory therapy aimed at improving his lung function, and he continues to manage the effects of his longest hospital stay.
The Vatican is aiming for greater transparency, providing updates on the pope's sleep and health status daily, though some updates are skipped based on conditions.
