Vatican City – Pope Francis's condition continues to improve. According to the latest bulletin from the Vatican Press Office, the Pontiff's clinical picture is stable and the progress made in recent days has been consolidated. Blood tests and the positive response to pharmacological therapy have led the doctors at the Gemelli Polyclinic to lift the prognosis.
Despite his improvement, the Pope will remain hospitalized to continue the pharmacological therapy needed to treat the serious infection that made his hospitalization necessary. During the day, Francis followed the Curia's spiritual exercises in the Paul VI Hall by video link, received the Eucharist, and spent moments of prayer in the Chapel of his private apartment.
The lifting of the life-threatening condition for Pope Francis, established today by the doctors at the Policlinico Gemelli, means that the pontiff "is no longer in imminent danger of life as a result of the inflammation and the specific clinical picture." Vatican sources specified this after the latest medical bulletin.
