CWN Editor's Note: It the latest update on the recovery of Pope Francis from double pneumonia, the Vatican press office reported on April 4 that the Pope “has shown further slight respiratory, mobility, and voice-related improvements,” along with “a slight improvement in his pulmonary infection.”
The “slight” improvements seemed to signal that the Pope would not return to normal activities soon.
But the press office strongly hinted that some arrangements would be made to allow the Pontiff to make a public appearance this weekend. The update said: “On Sunday, the Angelus may take place in a different manner compared to previous Sundays.” The press office promised that more information on plans for the Sunday Angelus audience would be released on Saturday.
The press office also said that the next briefing on the Pope’s recovery would be issued on Tuesday, April 8. However, in recent weeks, updates have frequently been released earlier than promised.
