Pope Francis is currently hospitalized in Rome, diagnosed with a complex polymicrobial infection that requires extended treatment. The Vatican describes his condition as stable, though he was admitted for bronchitis and is undergoing necessary testing. Despite being under medical care, the Pope remains actively engaged in prayer and has requested for prayers from his followers. Catholic leaders globally are also praying for his recovery as reports confirm that he does not have a fever and is showing some improvement. However, the Vatican has communicated that the Pope will remain hospitalized longer than initially expected, and his therapy has been adjusted to better address his complex clinical situation.
