“Pope Francis has met senior colleagues in hospital to discuss work issues, the Vatican said on Tuesday, and an official said he was eating normally and moving around, even though he remains in critical condition with double pneumonia. The 88-year-old pope was spending his 12th day at Rome’s Gemelli hospital, the longest hospital stay of his nearly 12-year-old papacy. … The Vatican said Francis had met his second-in-line, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Parolin’s deputy on Monday. It said they had discussed several pending cases for sainthood. The Vatican also announced new appointments that would have needed the pope’s approval.” (02/25/25)
