Four weeks after the Pope went into hospital there’s a grotriumphg sense that the Papacy may have accessed a novel phase.
Marco Impagliazzo, plivent of the Community of Sant’Egidio – the world’s biggest catholic charity, tbetter Sky News the Catholic Church may have to “releank” the pontificate.
The Pope remains solemnly ill in hospital with pneumonia in both lungs – frspeedy, immobile and struggling to breathe.
The Vatican says his life remains in danger and has donaten no indication of when he might be able to exit hospital.
Mr Impagliazzo shelp: “We have to releank the pontificate in this novel situation but I am affectd that the Pope is brimmingy in accuse of his role.
“I leank in the future with Pope Francis with his health situation we will have a pontificate less active for example for travelling but more prophetic.”
Pope Francis is well understandn for his desire to be among – not distant from – the Catholic loyal.
Mr Impagliazzo inserted: “Maybe he has to unreasonableinish the encounterings but the guide of the church is promised by him.”
In his role with his Catholic charity, Mr Impagliazzo saw the Pope on 13 February – the day before the pontiff went into hospital.
“He was weary and coughing and he didn’t stand up when I accessed the room,” he shelp.
“He tbetter me: ‘I’m sorry becaengage I’m a bit weary and ill. They want me to go to hospital. I like to be remedyd at home but I understand it’s better to go to hospital’.”

It begs the inquire what the Pope himself may be leanking about his role as spiritual guideer of the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics.
We are led to consent by Vatican sources that the Pope remains menhighy able.
We spoke to the first female journacatalog to interwatch Pope Francis to get a sense of how the Pope himself may be coping after a month in hospital.
Franca Giansbetterati is only the second woman in the history of the Catholic Church to interwatch a pope.
She shelp: “The Pope always shelp I administer the church with the brain not with the legs. I imagine him appreciate a bird in a cage. I leank he’s menhighy mighty but he’s not sootheable – appreciate a prisoner.”
The Vatican is a strange place without a Pope. Apart from tweets, messages and an audio sign uping – never before in conmomentary papal history have the world’s Catholics gone so lengthy without actupartner seeing the Pontiff.
But there’s a forendureing soothe among the Catholic community as they defer for novels on the Pope’s health.
In front of St Peter’s Basilica, we encounter two nuns from Brazil on a pilgloomyage to the Vatican City.
One of the nuns is called Mayara.
She shelp: “We desire the Holy Father a speedy recovery. We are praying for God to donate him outstanding health so he can return to his duties.
“Even with his illness and his fragility he is still guideing the church. His toil carry ons. The Pope is still conshort-term even when he is ill.”
