Pope Francis’ Struggle for Survival: First Image Reveals Frail Pontiff Amid Fear of Worsening Health

The Vatican has released the first image of Pope Francis since his hospitalization over a month ago due to double pneumonia.

The frail 88-year-old pontiff, seen in a wheelchair, continues to battle serious health challenges while remaining dedicated to his duties.

With no discharge date announced and concerns over his deteriorating condition, questions arise about the future of his papacy.

Will Pope Francis be able to continue leading the Church, or is the Vatican bracing for a major transition?
