Pope Francis was photographed at the hospital for the first time since being admitted for double pneumonia last month. The 88-year-old pope participated in a Holy Mass at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, with a Vatican official confirming his stable condition. Throughout the day, he continued therapy and work, showing signs of improvement. Despite exceeding four weeks of hospitalization, Francis celebrated the anniversary of his election as pope virtually earlier in the month. He was admitted due to a complex respiratory infection that progressed to double pneumonia. While the pope is no longer in immediate danger, doctors are cautious about his overall fragility and have recommended he remain hospitalized for an unspecified period. Pope Francis’ latest medical bulletin showed improvements in his condition, with doctors continuing to monitor his recovery carefully.
