Pope Francis is reportedly recovering from a bout of lung inflammation, according to multiple sources. The Pope's condition is described as stable and improving, with no signs of fever. The Vatican's press office director, Matteo Bruni, confirmed the Pope's improving health status. A CT scan conducted at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome ruled out pneumonia but revealed inflammation in the Pope's lungs, which was causing some breathing difficulties.

The Pope is currently receiving intravenous antibiotic therapy to treat the inflammation. As a result of his health condition, the Pope has decided to limit his activities for the next few days to conserve his strength. Despite his health issues, the Pope went ahead with a planned audience for the president of Paraguay, Santiago Peña Palacios. However, some of his other commitments have been postponed to facilitate his recovery.

Pope Francis, who will turn 87 next month, has experienced a number of medical setbacks in recent years, including hospitalizations and surgeries. His current health issue was revealed by the Pope himself, explaining his absence from his weekly window appointment. The Vatican has assured that the Pope's condition is being closely monitored and that the necessary steps are being taken to ensure his swift recovery.
