“Pope Francis is alert, got out of bed to eat breakfast and is showing signs of ‘slight improvement,’ the Vatican said Thursday — nearly a week after the pontiff was rushed to hospital battling double pneumonia. The 88-year-old pontiff, who has been undergoing treatment at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, slept well overnight and had breakfast sitting in an armchair, a Vatican spokesman said in the latest health update. … Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni visited the pontiff on Wednesday and said he was ‘alert and responsive’ — and even joked about people betting on his death, Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera reported.” (02/20/25)
