Pope Francis Works from Hospital Amid Improved Health

Pope Francis, currently hospitalized for double pneumonia and mild kidney failure, has shown slight improvement in his health, allowing him to resume some work from his hospital room. Despite his critical condition, the 88-year-old pontiff met with key Vatican officials to approve decrees for potential saints, including Father Emil Joseph Kapaun and Salvo D'Acquisto. The Vatican reported that he experienced no further respiratory crises and his renal function is stable, though he continues to receive oxygen therapy. Believers worldwide are praying for his recovery, as the pope maintains his commitment to Church matters, including outreach to those in Gaza. Cardinal Pietro Parolin led a rosary prayer in St. Peter's Square for the pope's health, emphasizing the global support for the pontiff during his hospitalization. While his condition has shown some improvement, doctors caution that recovery may be a lengthy process.
