Vatican cancels pope's weekend engagements as he battles 'complex' infection 

Reporters stand in front of the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic, in Rome, Feb. 18, 2025, where Pope Francis has been hospitalized to undergo some necessary diagnostic tests and to continue his ongoing treatment for bronchitis.

Pope Francis, who began his fifth day in hospital on Tuesday for what doctors have described as a "complex" respiratory infection, will not take part in this weekend's Holy Year events, the Vatican said on Tuesday.
