The Vatican announced that Pope Francis is suffering from bilateral pneumonia, which further aggravates his health condition

Pope Francis, who was hospitalized last week, has inflammation of both lungs, and tests still indicate a "complex clinical picture," the Vatican.

Today's recording showed the beginning of bilateral pneumonia, which requires further treatment, but the Pope is in a good mood, reported the Vatican News portal.

Laboratory tests, X-rays and the Holy Father's clinical condition still present a complex clinical picture, it added.

The statement indicates that the pope's "polymicrobial infection, which arose in the context of bronchiectasis and asthmatic bronchitis and required the use of corticosteroids and antibiotics, makes the therapeutic treatment more complex."

The Pope had pleurisy as a young man, for which part of one of his lungs was removed, and lately he has been prone to lung infections.

In the beginning was virtue.

At the moment when the institutions of the Republic are destroyed, when Vučić's octopus is still alive, when people are disgusted by the injustice and the stench left behind by the Essenes regime, we have, as Machiavelli said, only civic virtue as the fuel with which we can return to the beginning
