A source at the institution said the pontiff was not suffering heart problems and was breathing on his own, without the aid of a respirator. They said he was sitting up in an armchair at times, and it was understood that he&#8217;s under strict orders from his medical team to rest.<\/p>\n<p>No visitors are being allowed to see the pope, but close aides have been bringing him documents to review and sign.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\"><span class=\"img embed__content\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" alt=\"A woman carries two candles with the image of Pope Francis \" height=\"413\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/19\/71321d3c-5306-42ac-9388-3b4a54698c5b\/thumbnail\/620x413g2\/38acec475610a85ee546d611492e263b\/pope-francis-pneumonia-2199832335.jpg?v=db3d87ba7bf4d4ff13b65eabcf0d9bea 1x, https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/02\/19\/71321d3c-5306-42ac-9388-3b4a54698c5b\/thumbnail\/1240x826g2\/6d6fe7678bde493b6bee24ed26585cba\/pope-francis-pneumonia-2199832335.jpg?v=db3d87ba7bf4d4ff13b65eabcf0d9bea 2x\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><span class=\"embed__caption\">A woman carries two candles with the image of Pope Francis under the statue of former Pope John Paul II, outside the Gemelli hospital, where Francis was being treated for bilateral pneumonia, in Rome, Italy, Feb. 18, 2025.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Stefano Costantino\/SOPA Images\/LightRocket\/Getty<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another source told CBS News that Francis had been making a number of phone calls, and he&#8217;s also been receiving notes from well-wishers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>People have been gathering outside Rome&#8217;s Gemelli hospital to show their support, too, with many leaving messages and notes near a statue of former Pope John Paul II.
