Papa Francisco

Papa Francisco

religious leader Vatican City

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)
