Pope Francis continued to work from
his Rome hospital room despite battling pneumonia Wednesday and
appointed a new bishop of Poznan in Poland.
Francis accepted the resignation from the pastoral governance of
the metropolitan archdiocese of Poznan, presented by Msgr.
Stanislaw Gadecki, who is 75 years old and who was also
president of the Polish Episcopal Conference for ten years, from
2014 to 2024.
The pope has therefore appointed Msgr. Zbigniew Zielinski as
archbishop of the same diocese, said the bulletin of the Vatican
Press Office.
On the occasion of his weekly Wednesday audience, Francis also
started a new round of catechesis Wednesday, saying "a word is
enough not to leave us alone in pain" and "Jesus defeated death,
the root of our fears".
