A statement from the Vatican today has announced that Pope Francis is being treated for bilateral pneumonia




A statement from the Vatican today has announced that Pope Francis is being treated for bilateral pneumonia. The Holy Father has asked that you continue to pray for him. 🙏

Statement:
“A follow-up chest CT scan, to which the Holy Father was subjected this afternoon—prescribed by the Vatican medical team and the medical staff of the “A. Gemelli” Polyclinic Foundation—revealed the onset of bilateral pneumonia, requiring additional pharmacological therapy.”

“Nevertheless, Pope Francis remains in good spirits.”

The Press Office statement concludes by noting that the Pope had "received the Eucharist and, throughout the day, alternated between rest, prayer, and reading. He expresses his gratitude for the support he feels at this time and kindly asks that prayers for him continue.”
