Pope Francis, in a critical condition with double pneumonia, is alert and met with Vatican authorities at the hospital to discuss work issues, reported to Holy See on Tuesday (25).
The 88 -year -old pontiff is experiencing his 12th day at the Gemelli Hospital of Rome, the longest hospitalization of his almost 12 -year -old papacy.
“Francisco rested all night well“The Vatican reported in a statement of a phrase that did not provide further details.
An Vatican employee, who declined to be identified because he was not allowed to discuss the Pope’s condition, said the Pontiff was eating normally, moving through the hospital room and continuing his treatment.
The Holy See explained that Francisco met her second on the line, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and the representative of Parolin on Monday (24).
The employee also pointed out that they discussed several pending cases for holiness. The Vatican announced new appointments that would need the Pope’s approval.
Occasionally the pontiff has been working at the hospital, as the Vatican’s business remains at full range even during its hospitalization.
Giorgia Meloni, Italian Prime Minister, was the only other known VIP visitor of the Pope, who visited him on February 19.
On Monday, the Holy See stated that Francis’ condition was still critical, but had shown a “small improvement,” adding that “mild renal impairment”, reported for the first time over the weekend, was no cause for concern.
