Answering questions from journalists, the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, added: “Regarding the health condition of the Pope emeritus, for whom Pope Francis asked for prayers at the end of the general audience this morning, I can confirm that in the last hours there has been an aggravation due to advancing age. The situation at the moment remains under control, constantly followed by doctors".
