Pope Francis has spent a peaceful night at Rome’s Gemelli hospital and continues his recovery today, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni tells journalists at the Holy See Press Office.

The pope is susceptible to lung infections after he developed pleurisy as an adult and had part of a lung removed at age 21. In addition, Francis has been hospitalized for bronchitis multiple times, and in 2023 underwent abdominal surgery and received treatment for pneumonia earlier that year.
