updates: Pope Francis appeared on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica looking healthy and in good spirits as he waved to crowds gathered for Easter services on Sunday. For the past few months, the pope has been battling frequent bouts of bronchitis and respiratory problems, with regular visits to the hospital for checks on his lungs. Last week, on Palm Sunday, he stood in silence for several minutes instead of reading the homily, causing surprise and concern. During his Easter address, the pope made a strong appeal for peace around the world and called for an immediate cease-fire in Gaza. Concerns about the pope's declining health started in 2021 when he had part of his colon removed and have continued due to mobility problems and persistent lung inflammation. However, the pope has stated that there is no risk of him resigning and believes his ministry is for life.
