Pope Francis was discharged from Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Sunday (22) after 38 days of hospitalization. The 88 -year -old pontiff faced critical moments during his hospitalization, generating apprehension between the faithful and in the world Catholic community.
Filipe Domingues, a Vatican expert, analyzed the scenario of the Catholic Church after the Pope’s discharge in Now CNN . According to him, the forecast of doctors is that Francisco needs to undergo an intense recovery process for at least two months.
Church flexibility and adaptations
Domingues points out that the Catholic Church is quite flexible in situations like this. “If we remember Pope John Paul II’s pontificate, he spent many years in a very unstable health situation. He had Parkinson, then appeared, continued to pray, but the church adapts,” explains the expert.
The Vatican should find solutions to maintain ongoing church activities, even with the limitations imposed on the health of the pontiff. Doctors have recommended that the Pope avoid encounters with many people and maintain a quieter lifestyle in the coming months.
Continuity of reforms and legacy
Despite health issues, Pope Francis is still committed to promoting reforms in the Catholic Church. He recently approved a new three -year process to consider changes in the institution, continuing the so -called “synod of sinodality”.
This process, which involves broad consultations and participation of local churches, can be seen as a way to consolidate Francisco’s legacy. “It may be his great hope to continue this process himself, but it can also be a form of legacy, something he wants to leave to the future, to his successor,” says Domingues.
With Pope Francis’ return to Santa Marta House in the Vatican, he is expected to maintain a more restricted routine, following the medical recommendations. However, the pontiff is known for its active personality, which can be a challenge for its recovery.
