What health challenges is Pope Francis facing during the Jubilee year?
Pope Francis, at 88 years old, is currently battling double pneumonia while facing a grueling schedule during this important Jubilee year. The Vatican has confirmed that the pontiff has pneumonia in both lungs, which developed after he was hospitalized with bronchitis last week, resulting in a complex medical condition with a poly microbial infection. Despite these serious health challenges, the Pope is reportedly in good spirits and continuing his religious duties through prayer and study. However, his condition will force him to miss significant Mass events during this demanding period, raising concerns as he heads into the Lent season, a particularly busy time in the Catholic calendar.
