According to the Vatican, the health condition of Pope Francis (86) has improved. The Vatican said in a statement on Saturday that the pope, who suffers from bronchitis, “does not have a fever and his treatment is ongoing.” But the 86-year-old man will refrain from praying the traditional Angelus prayer on the balcony in St. Peter’s Square in Rome on Sunday to avoid exposing himself to temperature fluctuations.
The Vatican announced that Pope Francis would instead celebrate the prayer in his private chambers, which would then be broadcast on screens in St. Peter’s Square.

The 86-year-old pope asked an aide to read his text at his weekly general audience on Wednesday, saying he was “not feeling well yet because of this flu.” He looked very tired and out of breath.
Due to his illness, the head of the Catholic Church also had to cancel his participation in the UN climate conference (COP28) in Dubai. On Saturday, Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin, the Vatican’s number two, read the Pope’s speech in which he called for “accelerating ecological change.”
The Pope, who will turn 87 in December, has been experiencing health problems for a long time. He has used a wheelchair several times recently due to severe knee pain. At the end of March, he spent three nights in the hospital with a respiratory infection. He underwent surgery in June due to tissue tear in the abdominal wall. (AFP)
