Infection of the respiratory tract
Events with the Pope canceled for this week
Pope Francis is currently being treated for a multiple respiratory infection at the Gemelli Clinic in Rome. The Vatican has now canceled the general audience on Wednesday. Francis will also not take part in the event to mark the Jubilee Year of Deacons on Sunday.
However, the events will continue as planned, even if the Pope is unable to attend in person, the Vatican announced. According to a new diagnosis, 88-year-old Francis is suffering from a "polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract". The treatment has been changed and the examinations to date indicate a complex clinical picture "that requires appropriate hospitalization".
On Wednesday, the Pope phoned the parish of the Holy Family in Gaza from his room. Prior to his hospitalization, the head of the Church telephoned the small Roman Catholic parish every evening to speak with the parish priest there, Father Gabriel Romanelli, and the assistant parish priest, Father Yusuf Asad.
