Pope Francis has been admitted to the hospital for a respiratory infection causing breathing difficulties. The Vatican confirms that he tested negative for COVID-19. His previous lung operation has made him more vulnerable to respiratory problems. Despite experiencing ongoing health issues, the Pope has continued to maintain an active schedule. President Joe Biden expressed his concerns and asked for extra prayers for the Pope’s recovery. The Pope himself conveyed his condolences following a tragic school shooting in Tennessee. Concerns about his health arise as he has a busy schedule ahead, including a visit to Hungary at the end of April. The Pope has canceled all audiences until Friday, but no comments have been made regarding Holy Week plans.
