Pope Francis has been admitted to a hospital in Rome for an intestinal surgery that appears to have been planned for some time. Just hours ago he greeted people in a good mood in St. Peter’s Square.

sApst Francis had surgery to treat an intestinal disease. Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said doctors had performed the scheduled operation on Sunday evening. “The Holy Father responded well to the operation, which was performed under general anesthesia,” she added. It has not been announced how long he will spend at the Agostino Gemelli clinic in Rome.

According to the Vatican, Francis suffers from intestinal disease. This leads to the formation of bumps in the intestinal wall, which can become inflamed. Doctors talk about diverticulitis in this case. It can sometimes cause pain or fever to the patient. It is a common disease in the elderly. Pope Francis is 84 years old.
