Pope Francis to Miss Sunday Prayers for Second Consecutive Week, Says Vatican

Pope Francis in Critical Condition After Prolonged Respiratory Crisis, Vatican Confirms Introduction The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis is in critical condition following a prolonged respiratory crisis, sparking concerns among millions of Catholics worldwide. The 87-year-old pontiff, who has faced multiple health challenges in recent years, has been battling severe respiratory issues over the past few days. According to Vatican officials, the Pope’s condition worsened overnight, prompting intensive medical intervention. His current status remains serious but stable, and doctors are closely monitoring his progress. Vatican’s Official Statement In an official statement, Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni said: "His Holiness Pope Francis has been experiencing a prolonged respiratory crisis, leading to significant concerns regarding his health. The Pope remains under close medical supervision, and further updates will be provided as necessary." The Vatican has not disclosed specific details about the exact nature of the crisis but confirmed that a team of specialized doctors is attending to the Pope at his residence in Casa Santa Marta. Health Complications and Recent Medical History Pope Francis has faced several health issues in the past few years, including: 2021 – Underwent intestinal surgery to remove part of his colon due to diverticulitis. 2023 – Was hospitalized twice for respiratory infections, including bronchitis, requiring antibiotic treatment. December 2023 – Skipped Christmas Eve Mass due to lung inflammation. Early 2024 – Canceled several public appearances due to fatigue and breathing difficulties. Current Medical Attention and Treatment Sources inside the Vatican suggest that Pope Francis is receiving oxygen therapy to stabilize his breathing. A team of pulmonary and cardiovascular specialists is closely monitoring his vital signs. Vatican insiders also reported that further hospitalization may be required depending on how his condition progresses in the next few hours. However, the Pope has previously expressed a preference for being treated within the Vatican rather than being moved to a hospital. Church and Global Reactions Catholic Leaders Express Concern Cardinals, bishops, and Catholic communities worldwide have expressed deep concern over the Pope’s health. Many churches have begun special prayer services for his recovery. Cardinal Pietro Parolin, the Vatican Secretary of State, stated: "The Church is united in prayer for the Holy Father. We trust in God's grace for his recovery." Political Leaders Send Support Global leaders have also reacted to the news, offering wishes of good health. U.S. President Joe Biden, a devout Catholic, expressed his deep prayers and concern. Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni issued a statement wishing Pope Francis strength and a swift recovery. Argentinian President Javier Milei, from Pope Francis' home country, described him as a spiritual pillar for millions and called for unity in prayer. What Happens Next? As Pope Francis battles this critical health crisis, speculation has arisen over the possibility of a temporary transfer of responsibilities within the Vatican. According to sources, the College of Cardinals has been briefed on the situation but no official succession discussions have been initiated. If the Pope’s condition deteriorates further, Vatican protocols dictate that Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, Dean of the College of Cardinals, may assume some papal duties temporarily. However, any formal transition would only occur if the Pope resigns or becomes unable to fulfill his role. Conclusion The world now waits anxiously for further updates from the Vatican as Pope Francis remains in critical but stable condition. Catholics and well-wishers globally continue to pray for his recovery, hoping that the 87-year-old leader of the Church will overcome this latest health challenge. The Vatican is expected to release further medical updates within the next 24 hours.
