Rome, February 26:슬롯 머신 사이트 추천 Pope Francis was in critical but stable condition Tuesday as he worked from the hospital while battling double pneumonia, and the Vatican announced some major governing decisions that suggest he is getting essential work done and looking ahead. The Vatican's evening update said the 88-year-old pope had had no new respiratory crises and that his blood parameters were stable. He underwent a follow-up CAT scan Tuesday evening to check the lung infection, but no results were provided. Doctors said his prognosis remained guarded.

슬롯사이트œIn the morning, after receiving the Eucharist, he resumed work activities,슬롯사이트� the Vatican statement said. Decisions on saints and a formal meeting of cardinals The Vatican's Tuesday noon bulletin contained a series of significant decisions Francis had taken, most importantly that he had met on Monday with Cardinal Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, the Vatican 슬롯사이트œsubstitute슬롯사이트� or chief of staff.

It was the first known time the pope had met with Parolin, who is essentially the Vatican prime minister, since his Feb. 14 hospitalization and the first outsider known to have called on Francis since Italian Premier Giorgia Meloni visited Feb. 19. During the audience, Francis approved decrees for two new saints and five people for beatification 슬롯사이트� the first step toward possible sainthood. Francis also convened a consistory, or a formal meeting of cardinals, to set the dates for the future canonizations.

Francis regularly approves decrees from the Vatican's saint-making office when he is at the Vatican, albeit during audiences with the head of the office, not Parolin. A consistory is a necessary ceremonial step in that saint-making process, and it is normal that no date is given at first. It wasn't clear, though, why there was such urgency to approve the decrees while the pope was in critical condition, when some of the new proposed saints have been waiting years if not decades for their causes to advance.

The signing of the decrees did serve to show the pope fully in charge and provided a public way to announce Parolin's audience. But it also raised some questions. It was also at a banal consistory to set dates for canonizations on Feb. 11, 2013, that Pope Benedict XVI announced, in Latin, that he would resign because he couldn't keep up with the rigors of the papacy. Francis has said he, too, would consider resigning after Benedict 슬롯사이트œopened the door슬롯사이트� and became the first pope in 600 years to retire. Pope Francis 'stable', but Remains Critical: Vatican.

Giovanna Chirri, the reporter for the Italian news agency ANSA who was covering the consistory that day and broke the story because she understood Latin, said that she didn't think Francis would follow in Benedict's footsteps, 슬롯사이트œeven if some would want it.슬롯사이트� 슬롯사이트œI could be wrong, but I hope not,슬롯사이트� she told The Associated Press. 슬롯사이트œAs long as he's alive, the world and the church need him.슬롯사이트� Francis' English biographer, Austen Ivereigh, said that it was possible, and that all that matters is that Francis be 슬롯사이트œwholly free to make the right decision.슬롯사이트�

슬롯사이트œThe pope has always said that the papacy is for life, and he has shown that there is no problem with a frail and elderly pope,슬롯사이트� Ivereigh said. 슬롯사이트œBut he has also said that should he ever have a long-term degenerative or debilitating condition which prevents him from fully carrying out the exercise of the papal ministry, he would consider resigning. And so would any pope.슬롯사이트�

Francis' ideas about resignation

Francis has said that if he were to resign, he would live in Rome, outside the Vatican, and be called 'emeritus bishop of Rome" rather than emeritus pope given the problems that occurred with Benedict's experiment as a retired pope. Despite his best efforts, Benedict remained a point of reference for conservatives before he died in 2022, and his home inside the Vatican gardens something of a pilgrimage destination for the right. Francis has also written a letter of resignation, to be invoked if he became medically incapacitated.

Speculation about a possible resignation has swirled ever since Francis was hospitalized, but the Vatican hierarchy has tamped it down. Parolin himself told Corriere della Sera over the weekend that such speculation was 슬롯사이트œuseless슬롯사이트� and that what mattered was Francis' health.

In addition to the audience with Parolin, the Vatican released Francis' message for Lent, the period leading up to Easter. And Francis named a handful of new bishops for Brazil, a new archbishop for Vancouver and modified the law for the Vatican City State to create a new hierarchy. Many if not all of these decisions were likely in the works for some time and the Lent message was signed before he was hospitalized. But the Vatican has said that Francis has been doing some work in the hospital, including signing documents.

Doctors have said the condition of the Argentine pope, who had part of one lung removed as a young man, is touch-and-go, given his age, fragility and preexisting lung disease before the pneumonia set in.

Allies and ordinary faithful hopeful

Francis' right-wing critics have been spreading dire rumors about his condition, but his allies have cheered him on and expressed hope that he will pull through. Many noted that from the very night of his election as pope, Francis had asked for the prayers of ordinary faithful, a request he repeats daily. 슬롯사이트œI'm a witness of everything he did for the church, with a great love of Jesus,슬롯사이트� Honduran Cardinal Óscar Rodríguez Maradiaga told La Repubblica. 슬롯사이트œHumanly speaking, I don't think it's time for him to go to Paradise.슬롯사이트�

At Gemelli on a rainy Tuesday morning, ordinary Romans and visitors alike were also praying for the pope. Hoang Phuc Nguyen, who lives in Canada but was visiting Rome to participate in a Holy Year pilgrimage, took the time to come to Gemelli to say a special prayer for the pope at the statue of St. John Paul II outside the main entrance. 슬롯사이트œWe heard that he is in the hospital right now and we are very worried about his health,슬롯사이트� Nguyen said. "He is our father and it is our responsibility to pray for him."
