How is Pope Francis doing?
Pope Francis is staying at Gemelli Hospital in Rome receiving treatment for a respiratory infection. He expressed gratitude for the good wishes he has been sent since being taken ill.
A scheduled television interview he was meant to take part in was cancelled following the discovery of his Illness. He took part in his weekly general audience at St. Peter’s square, where he appeared in good spirits.
However, he was seen grimacing as he was helped into his vehicle. Francis became Pope in March 2013, after Pope Benedict resigned due to ill health.
He was born as Jorge Mario Bergoglio on December 17, 1936, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He renamed himself Francis when he took the role, continuing a tradition which has lasted since the year 533.
By doing this, it is though that pope’s are trying to show what sort of leader that they want to be.
