Hospitalised Pope Francis to skip Angelus prayer for second Sunday. What's his latest health update?: 10 points
Pope Francis will miss the Angelus prayer on Sunday for the second straight week as the 88-year-old is treated in hospital for pneumonia, the Vatican said. The text will only be published, not read out, as it was last weekend, the Vatican press office said Saturday. Pope Francis was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on February 14 with bronchitis, but it turned into pneumonia in both lungs, causing widespread alarm.

Since 2021, he has undergone colon and hernia surgery, is overweight, and suffers constant hip and knee pain, which force him to use a wheelchair most of the time.
Francis is also one of the oldest popes ever — and though he has said the job is for life, the pope has left the door open to resigning like his predecessor Benedict XVI.
Here are key things you need to know about Pope Francis's latest health update:
-Pope Francis was admitted to hospital earlier this month and is undergoing treatment for double pneumonia. He is «not yet out of danger” and will remain in hospital for at least the whole of next week, one of his doctors has said, reported AP.
-Pope Francis was stable but “the chronic illness remains”, Sergio Alfieri, a general surgeon at Rome’s Gemelli university hospital, told reporters on Friday. “Is he out of danger? No. But if the question is ‘is he in danger of death?’, the answer is [also] ‘no’,” Alfieri said.
