Doctors said this week that Francis is no longer in a critical, life -threatening condition. But they continued to emphasize that his condition remained complex due to his age, lack of mobility and loss of part of the lungs as a young man.

Still, the Pope continued to perform his duties. On Saturday, He approved a three -year implementation and the reforming evaluation procedure aimed at making the Roman Catholic Church more comfortable and sensitive. The Vatican Office for the Synod of the Bishop published a schedule until 2028 for the implementation of reforms and said Francis had approved the calendar last week.
