Pope Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital

On Friday, February 14, Pope Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital to undergo treatment for bronchitis. On Tuesday, February 18, in its daily updates on the Pope’s health, the Vatican notified the public that tests had shown that Pope Francis had developed “bilateral” or double pneumonia, leading to additional treatment in the hospital. The Pope remains in good spirits, continuing to follow the news and meet with leaders in his hospital room. Catholic News Agency has an ongoing report on the Pope’s health and developments in Rome, which can be found here. 

We continue to pray for Pope Francis’ intentions and his health.
