Pope Francis will return to governing
the Catholic Church after his 38-day hospital fight against
pneumonia but perhaps not as before the health crisis that twice
had doctors fearing for his life, Secretary of State Cardinal
Pietro Parolin said Thursday.
"It seems to me that the Pope is well connected with the entire
Church and with all the faithful: this has been demonstrated by
all the demonstrations of affection and above all prayer with
which he has been accompanied throughout the days of his illness
and which continue", Parolin said on the sidelines of the works
of the 'Chair of Welcome' at the Fraterna Domus in Sacrofano
near Rome, responding to journalists on the health conditions of
Pope Francis.
"I continually receive messages from people who say precisely
'we are praying for the Pope, we are praying for his full
recovery, for his full re-establishment so that he can return to
carry out his activity, to govern the Church'.
"Maybe not like before, we will have to find different ways but
one in which he is still able to do it".
