Pope Francis battling lung inflammation on intravenous antibiotics but Vatican says his condition is "good"​

Vatican City — Pope Francis was in a "good and stable" condition Monday but was receiving antibiotics intravenously and would limit his activities for a few days to regain strength and fight off a lung inflammation, the Vatican said. The pope, who will turn 87 on Dec. 17, revealed the inflammation on Sunday but said he would still travel later this week to Dubai to address the climate change conference.

Francis skipped his weekly Sunday appearance at a window overlooking St. Peter's Square a day after the Vatican said he was suffering from a mild flu. Instead, Francis gave the traditional noon blessing in an appearance televised live from the chapel in the Vatican hotel where he lives.

"but said he'd still travel to Dubai later this week to address a climate change conference."

Pretty much tells you where his priorities are!

Prayers for his Spiritual and physical health, and for his pride. How prideful does one have to be when you actually believe you are the vicar of Christ.

For an old guy with only one lung he seems to have the 9 lives of a cat! Maybe it's God's mercy extended to him to repent and get saved and quit auditioning for the False Prophet.
