VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis has been admitted today to Rome’s Gemelli hospital for “previously scheduled tests,” as news outlets now report that his scheduled has been cleared for the upcoming days after he experienced heart problems prior to arriving at the hospital.
In a brief statement issued to the press March 29, Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni stated that “The Holy Father has been at Gemelli since this afternoon for some previously scheduled checkups.”
The Pontiff had conducted his regular general audience in the morning, being visibly less physically able than he had appeared in recent days.
Following this, however, Italian news outlets began reporting that the Pope’s scheduled meetings for the next few days had been cancelled, citing a Vatican source.
After the audience, he reportedly had to cancel a scheduled interview and be transported to the nearby Gemelli hospital in an ambulance. According to the news reports, which cited sources in the hospital, Francis was suffering from “heart problems” along with breathing issues when he arrived.
His condition is currently deemed as “not worrisome” according to Corriere della Sera.
