  • A stable Pope Francis had a visit Sunday from the Vatican secretary of state as he continued his recovery from double pneumonia, the Vatican said, but again skipped his weekly noon blessing to avoid even a brief public appearance from the hospital.

Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for a respiratory infection, received a visit from Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican's Secretary of State, at Rome's Gemelli hospital. During the visit, the Pope expressed that he is sharing in the suffering of all sick people, reflecting his ongoing concern for those who are ill. Despite his condition, which is not related to COVID-19, the Pope has continued to work from the hospital, maintaining his commitment to his duties. He is being treated with antibiotics administered intravenously and is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days. This visit and the Pope's sentiments underscore his empathy and solidarity with the sick, aligning with his broader messages of compassion and care for the vulnerable.
