Pope Francis' Health Shows Improvement Amid Concerns

Pope Francis, recovering from double pneumonia in Rome's Gemelli Hospital since February 14, has been seen for the first time in over a month, participating in a Mass from a wheelchair. Despite his condition improving, the 88-year-old pontiff remains hospitalized due to ongoing complexities related to his age and past health issues. He delivered a written Angelus message emphasizing his fragility and expressing gratitude to well-wishers. The Vatican confirmed his condition is stable, with positive progress seen in recent X-rays, but he continues to require motor and respiratory therapy. Concerns have been raised over the future of his papacy due to his serious respiratory issues earlier in the hospitalization. Children from various backgrounds gathered outside the hospital to show support, symbolizing hope and spiritual medicine for the Pope.
