Pope Francis, hospitalized for 14 days at the Gemelli Hospital, is showing cautious signs of improvement despite his critical condition.

A recent CT scan confirmed the presence of pneumonia, but his kidney function has returned to normal.

The Vatican reports that the Pope has resumed some work, including approving sainthood decrees and administrative changes.

Doctors remain vigilant, monitoring his response to treatment, while discouraging him from public appearances, such as delivering the Angelus from the hospital window.

Meanwhile, prayers and rosaries continue worldwide for his recovery.
