Pope Francis, 86, was admitted to a hospital in Rome on Wednesday with a respiratory infection that will require a stay of a few days, the Vatican said.
Joe Biden, only the second Catholic president in US history, urged attendees at a Greek independence day reception at the White House on Wednesday to "say an extra prayer" for the pope. "Pope Francis is touched by the many messages received and expresses his gratitude for the closeness and prayer," Bruni added in his statement.At his weekly audience at the Vatican earlier Wednesday, the pope appeared in good spirits, smiling as he greeted the faithful in his popemobile.Dozens of journalists gathered late Wednesday outside the hospital, where a statue of the late pope John Paul II stands by the entrance.
A year later he admitted he was still feeling the effects of six hours spent under anaesthetic during the surgery.In a message Wednesday, the Italian Bishops' Conference offered their prayers for the pope's "rapid recovery".Pope Francis had to cancel or curtail activities several times last year because of the pain in his knee and in a July 2022 interview acknowledged that he needed to slow down.
