Pope Francis, who is suffering from lung inflammation, is in “good and stable” condition, receiving antibiotic therapy intravenously, and will limit his activities for the next few days in order to conserve his strength, the Vatican said on Monday. “The pope’s condition is good and stable, he does not have a fever and his respiratory condition is decidedly improving,” Bruni said. Bruni added that Francis, 86, would continue to carry out “easier”, institutional tasks, his condition permitting. On Saturday, a government source confirmed that Argentina’s outgoing President Alberto Fernández will not meet with the Pope this week. When he raised his right hand a bandage holding an IV tube used to administer the antibiotics was visible.
