Pope Francis, currently 88 years old, has been admitted to a Rome hospital for treatment of bronchitis. The Vatican announced that the Pope is undergoing necessary diagnostic tests, as he has been experiencing ongoing breathing difficulties, which have affected his ability to deliver speeches. Due to his hospitalization, several planned events, including the Jubilee Audience, have been canceled. This marks another instance of health issues for the Pope, who is managing bronchitis while also continuing to hold some meetings from home.
