Pope Francis stable but complex: Plans Sunday Angelus appearance?
The Vatican stated that Pope Francis's condition has stabilized and is no longer critical. He continues to receive treatment and undergo respiratory physiotherapy. He will soon decide whether he will address the faithful during the Sunday Angelus prayer.
According to Vatican sources, Pope Francis's condition is described not as critical but as complex.
It was reported that the Pope had breakfast, regularly reads newspapers, and continues his treatment and respiratory physiotherapy.
What about the Sunday prayer?
It is not known what form the Sunday noon Angelus prayer will take. The content of the pope's reflections has been published for the past two weeks. Unofficially, it is known that Francis would like to show himself in the window to the faithful who will come to the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome this time. A decision on this matter is expected by Saturday.
The Vatican press office announced that in place of the ill pope, the Ash Wednesday ceremonies on the Roman Aventine will be led as his delegate by the Major Penitentiary Cardinal Angelo De Donatis.
It is unknown how long Francis will remain in the hospital for now. The pope was admitted there in mid-February due to pneumonia. For several days, he also experienced breathing difficulties.
