Papa Francisco
At 88 years old, Pope Francis has been in the news due to respiratory difficulties, which led him to request an assistant to read his speech during a recent Mass for the Jubilee of Armed Forces and security agents. He has faced health issues in recent months, including bouts of bronchitis, and has previously suffered from a lung infection that resulted in the loss of part of his lung. Additionally, his mobility has been affected following a fall that injured his arm and previous incidents that left him with bruises, requiring him to use a wheelchair. Despite these challenges, Pope Francis continues to advocate for peace and vigilance against the toxic narratives of war and division.
Born on Dec 17, 1936 (89 years old)
