VATICAN CITY (LifeSiteNews) — It is “unthinkable” that Pope Francis will ever resume the schedule he maintained before his hospitalization, according to one Vatican reporter.

Vatican journalist Francesco Antonio Grana recently stated that Francis “must completely rethink his life” in the event that he leaves Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he has stayed for 31 days and counting as of Monday.

“If the Pope overcomes this crisis, it is unthinkable that he could return to the schedule he had until now,” he said.

Grana also claimed that Francis had been “on the verge of death” at “several” points throughout his hospital stay. Over the past several days, however, the Pope has been “stable” and even shown “slight improvements,” albeit in light of a “complex” medical picture.
