VATICAN CITY (Michael Haynes/LifeSiteNews) — With Pope Francis’ diagnosis of double pneumonia being made public Tuesday night, Italy’s state-owned public broadcaster is reportedly preparing for an “extraordinary edition” as speculation around the Pope’s health grows.
Late Tuesday night, Italian Catholic blog Messa in Latino reported that RAI Vaticano has been alerted for a possible extraordinary edition. RAI Vaticano is the Vatican-dedicated section of Italy’s state-sponsored broadcaster RAI.
The news came shortly after a notable update was released regarding Pope Francis’ health, following his admission to hospital on February 14. On Tuesday evening, the Holy See Press Office director Matteo Bruni stated that hospital tests had revealed the Pope has double pneumonia.
