Pontiff’s condition requires extended hospitalization

Pope Francis’ respiratory infection has developed into a “complex clinical picture,” prompting an extended hospital stay, the Vatican confirmed Monday. The 88-year-old pope’s health remains a growing concern as doctors work to manage his condition.

Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni stated that recent medical tests confirmed Francis is suffering from a “polymicrobial respiratory tract infection,” requiring an adjustment in his drug treatment. Such infections involve a combination of viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites, making treatment more complicated.

Bruni did not specify how long the pope would remain hospitalized, but he emphasized that the complexity of his symptoms necessitates ongoing medical supervision.

Pope admitted after worsening bronchitis

Pope Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli hospital on Friday in “fair” condition after a prolonged bout of bronchitis worsened. Doctors diagnosed a respiratory infection and prescribed complete rest along with medication. Early updates indicated that his fever had subsided and his condition remained stable.

Despite his illness, Bruni noted that Francis ate breakfast and read newspapers Monday morning after a third consecutive night of restful sleep.

Ongoing health struggles and previous surgeries

The Argentine pope has battled significant health challenges throughout his life. He had part of one lung removed following a severe pulmonary infection as a young man. Additionally, he suffers from chronic knee pain, sciatica, and has undergone major surgeries—including the removal of 13 inches (33 cm) of his colon in 2021 and further abdominal surgery in 2023 to repair an intestinal hernia.

In 2023, Francis was hospitalized for pneumonia but was discharged after just three days. He later revealed that the situation had been more serious than initially disclosed, as he had experienced fainting and chest pain. This time, despite struggling with shortness of breath, he insisted on completing his scheduled Vatican meetings before heading to the hospital.

Impact on Vatican events and Holy Year celebrations

Francis’ hospitalization has already resulted in the cancellation of several Vatican events related to the Catholic Church’s Holy Year. The Vatican has only confirmed the cancellation of engagements through Monday, including a planned visit to Rome’s Cinecittà film studios to meet with artists.

The pope’s next public appearance is on Wednesday, his weekly general audience. He is also set to preside over the ordination of deacons on Sunday as part of Holy Year celebrations. However, his participation in both remains uncertain.

During a Jubilee Mass dedicated to artists on Sunday, a cardinal stood in for the pope, raising further concerns about his ability to fulfill upcoming commitments.
