As of February 27, 2025, Pope Francis, aged 88, is recovering from double pneumonia at Rome's Gemelli Hospital. He was admitted on February 14 and has shown slight improvements, including better kidney function and reduced lung inflammation. Despite his hospitalization, he continues to perform some papal duties from his hospital room.
In January 2025, Pope Francis published a memoir titled "Hope," offering insights into his early life in Buenos Aires, his election as pope, and his leadership of the Church. The book also reveals previously undisclosed events, such as a foiled assassination attempt during his 2021 visit to Iraq.
Throughout his papacy, Pope Francis has been recognized for his compassion toward marginalized groups, including immigrants, the LGBTQ+ community, and divorced individuals. He has emphasized the Church's mission to treat all people as brothers and sisters, reflecting the teachings of Jesus.
In his recent message for Lent 2025, Pope Francis encouraged Catholics to reflect on their spiritual journey, embrace synodality, and place their hope in the victory of Christ. This message underscores his ongoing commitment to guiding the faithful, even amidst personal health challenges.
