Vatican City – “Rome, Policlinico Gemelli, March 5, 2025”: this is what we read at the bottom of the message that Pope Francis sent to the Pro-Life Movement, on the occasion of today’s mass in St. Peter’s Basilica. Message read by the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
It has been confirmed several times that the Pope also dedicates time to work at the Gemelli but "it is difficult to 'quantify' this time", Vatican sources say.
It is not just a matter of physically signing a document or a text, but also “thinking about it, reflecting on it, meditating on it”, they explain, reiterating how difficult it is to establish “the genesis of each text” written by the Pope but it is certain that if it reports the date “he also had a hand in it from the hospital”.
The Pope's message seems very important and interesting, but it is difficult to understand how he manages to work even from the hospital. It would be useful to have more details on this aspect to better understand his situation.
