Concerns About Pope Francis After Another Breathing Crisis
After a physiotherapy session on Friday morning and a prayer in the chapel of his apartment in the "Agostino Gemelli" polyclinic, the Pope suffered a "crisis with bronchospasm." This led to vomiting and an unexpected deterioration in breathing. However, the 88-year-old is awake and cooperating with the treatment. Sources from the Vatican report that it could take up to 48 hours to assess the impact of the breathing crisis on the Pope's health.
Pope Francis in Hospital for Two Weeks
The head of the Catholic Church was admitted to the university clinic two weeks ago on Friday. The Pontiff has now been in the hospital longer than ever before. On March 13 - in two weeks - it will be twelve years since the Argentine was elected Pope. Due to the hospital stay, a planned audience for the Holy Year on the upcoming Saturday was canceled as expected. It is still unclear whether the Pope will publish a text for the Angelus prayer on Sunday, as he did on the past two Sundays. Normally, the head of the Catholic Church holds the prayer every Sunday at noon from the window of the Apostolic Palace overlooking St. Peter's Square.
