Pope Francis, at the age of 88, has been hospitalized for a month due to bilateral pneumonia but has shown signs of recovery. After critical days, doctors have confirmed he is out of danger, although he still requires assistance with breathing. His hospitalization marks the longest for any Pope since John Paul II. Concerns about his ability to govern persist, especially given the precedent of previous papal resignations. While he is improving, uncertainties about his long-term health and independence remain, including the permanent presence of a medical team in the Vatican.
Pope Francis, who turned 88 last December, has been hospitalized for a month with bilateral pneumonia but is now recovering after overcoming critical days.
As the oldest Pope in history, the implications of his health are significant, especially as the Church navigates the uncertain landscape following past papal resignations.
