"Pope Francis' Health Update: Battling Lung Inflammation with Antibiotic Treatment"

TL;DR Summary
Pope Francis is in a "good and stable" condition but is receiving intravenous antibiotics to treat a lung inflammation, according to the Vatican. The 86-year-old pontiff will limit his activities for a few days to regain strength. Despite the health issue, he still plans to travel to Dubai later this week to address the climate change conference. The Vatican did not explain the discrepancy between the pope's announcement of lung inflammation and the negative results of a CT scan conducted a day earlier. This is not the first time Pope Francis has faced health issues, as he was hospitalized earlier this year for pneumonia and underwent surgery in June.
