Pope Francis has gone to a hospital in Rome to undergo surgery for stenosis of the large intestine. The Vatican gave this information on Sunday. The brief announcement on Sunday afternoon did not say when the surgery would be performed. However, it was said in the information that it will be announced after the completion of the surgery.
Three hours before this announcement, Francis greeted the public enthusiastically in St. Peter’s Square in keeping with the ‘Sunday Tradition’. He said that he would go to Hungary and Slovakia. A week earlier, Francis, 84, had asked for a special prayer for the pope under the same tradition, pointing to a surgery scheduled at Rome’s Gemelli Polyclinic.
Doctors have done surgery on Catholic patients
Francis is generally a healthy person but had a part of his lung removed during puberty. He is also suffering from sciatica and due to this sometimes he has to face pain, due to which he has to cancel his programs many times. Gemelli’s doctors have previously operated on several Catholic patients, including Pope John Paul II, whose tumor was operated on in 1992.
The Pope’s Role in the Israel-Palestine Dispute
In May, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoan requested Pope Francis to intervene in the matter over the dispute between Israel and Palestine. Erdoan asked Pope Francis to help the world impose sanctions against Israel because he is “massacred” of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. This conversation between Erdoan and the Pope took place over the phone.
A day earlier, the Pope said that the death of innocent people in violence is unacceptable and appalling. Along with this, he had warned that it would lead to death and destruction. Rajab Tayyip Erdogan was often seen speaking in favor of the Palestinians. He repeatedly spoke against the activities of Israel. He also told the Pope that ‘the whole of humanity should turn against Israel.’
