Update on the Pope’s health after he reportedly told aides he ‘won’t make it this time’

 

Pope Francis has been hospitalized for the second time in two years due to bronchitis, but this time, his condition is more severe. The 88-year-old was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on February 14 and has since been diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs. While he is breathing independently, sources claim he has been in intense pain and has privately expressed doubts about his recovery.

According to the Cleveland Clinic, pneumonia causes lung inflammation and fluid buildup, making breathing difficult and posing life-threatening risks, especially for those with underlying health issues.

Despite concerns, Italian Prime Minister Georgia Meloni, who visited the Pope on Wednesday, stated that he remained alert and in good spirits, even joking during their conversation.

The Vatican has reassured the public that Pope Francis is showing signs of improvement. A statement on February 21 confirmed that he had a restful night and was able to sit up for breakfast. Medical staff reported slight improvements in his condition.

Elected in 2013, Pope Francis made history as the first non-European pontiff in nearly 1,300 years. Following a similar hospitalization in 2023, he reassured the world by saying, “I am still alive.”
