The Pope’s health should not be taken for granted, Archbishop Paul Gallagher has said after the Pope underwent an operation earlier this week.
Archbishop Gallagher, a senior Vatican diplomat, told the BBC that there had been no sign of the Pope’s ill health before the procedure. His comments indicate that the operation was not preceded by publicly apparent concerns about the Pope’s condition.
The archbishop’s warning highlights the uncertainty surrounding the Pope’s health following the operation. No further details about the procedure or the Pope’s current condition were provided in the supplied information.
