The clinical picture of Pope Francis, hospitalized at the Gemelli Polyclinic, "is complex", as "a polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract was found which led to a further modification of the therapy". This was announced by the Holy See, in the latest update on the conditions of the pontiff.

But, despite the outcome of the diagnostic tests and the change in therapy, which predict a not very short hospital stay, "the Pope's mood is good" , reported the director of the Vatican Press Office Matteo Bruni. And, from the tenth floor of his hospital room, the Holy See continues, Bergoglio continues to work.

Today – continues the Vatican Press Office – the Reverend Giuseppe Luigi Spiga, of the Clergy of the Metropolitan Archdiocese of Cagliari , until now Vicar General of the same Diocese and Rector of the São Bonifácio Major Seminary, was appointed Bishop of the Diocese of Grajaú (Brazil).

But, as mentioned, the Holy Father's hospital stay will have to be prolonged . From what we understand, Francis will not be present on Sunday for the Jubilee of Deacons, but the Jubilee events "continue according to the agenda".
