The evening bulletin was more optimistic than previous updates, as the 88-year-old pontiff remains hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, battling pneumonia in both lungs.
Pope Francis, who had part of one lung removed in his youth, remains under medical supervision due to his age, frailty, and chronic lung condition. However, Monday’s report confirmed he has experienced no additional respiratory distress since Saturday and continues to receive supplemental oxygen at reduced levels.
On Monday, the Pope took Holy Communion and resumed some activities in the afternoon. "In the evening, he reached out to a Gaza parish priest to offer his support," the Vatican statement added.
The Vatican reassured that Francis remains in good spirits, is not in pain, and does not require artificial nutrition.
With 10 days in the hospital, this marks the longest stay of his papacy, surpassing his 2021 hospitalization when he spent the same duration at Gemelli following colon surgery.
