Regarding Pope Francis's medical condition, "we have emerged from the most critical phase," Vatican sources reported.
And from the “critical” phase we have returned to the “complex picture”. According to Vatican sources, the Pope is alternating high-flow oxygenation with ventimasks, or oxygen masks. “It is a lighter solution than high-flow oxygen,” Vatican sources specify, noting that “for the second time the term critical condition is not used”.
“It is a bulletin that describes a further improvement,” the sources specify, but “it is also a sign that they are reserving the prognosis” and this means “that the doctors still have concerns”.

In Naples a youth soccer tournament in memory of Pope Francis: Bruscolotti's idea
A simple, authentic, popular idea: a Youth soccer tournament in Naples, in memory of Pope Francis.

And who better than the kids from the suburbs can embody that message? Hence the idea of an initiative that goes beyond memory: a real tournament, in neighborhoods where opportunities are lacking but not talent, to carry forward, with the ball between our feet, a legacy of values.
