Pope's Health Improves After Hospitalization for Respiratory Infection

Pope Francis' health is "progressively improving" after being hospitalized for a respiratory infection. He is working from the hospital and has been seen praying and receiving the Eucharist. The Vatican had previously stated that the visit and tests were planned. The pontiff has a history of medical issues, including severe pneumonia as a young man and diverticulitis. In December, he revealed that he had already signed his resignation letter to be used in the event of him becoming "impaired."
