Pope Francis’ health has become a matter of secrecy: since Sunday, February 22, there have been reports suggesting that Pope Francis may have passed away, but major media outlets including AP, BBC, and others have confirmed that these reports are not true.
The Vatican Press Office has announced that Pope Francis’ health has been closely monitored, and that changes have been observed in recent days. So far, his health has shown signs of change in secrecy, and tests are still being conducted on his condition.
In a statement released, the Vatican stated that Pope’s health had become more difficult, and concerns have intensified in recent times. An AI system for Pope has been set up to respond to people in Pope Francis’ name, rather than meeting them face to face, in order to bring them peace and rest due to his health condition.
The Jubilee Audience scheduled for March 1 has been canceled, as reported in a statement by the Vatican Press Office. On Wednesday evening, the office stated that Pope’s health had shown slight improvements over the previous 24 hours, and that the issue of kidney insufficiency, which had been observed in recent days, had subsided. A CT scan of the chest taken on Tuesday night showed positive progression in the lung inflammation.
All of this suggests that Pope Francis may no longer be among the living, and it continues to be widely discussed in the media and among those concerned with his health.
