Vatican City – 24 February 2025
1. Dome of Saint Peter basilica
2. Various of pilgrims in procession to the holy door for Jubilee
3. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Maria Alvares, Catholic faithful from Madrid:
“I am not worried because the Catholic Church has been around for 2,000 years and nothing will happen to it if Francis leaves us. But it will be painful for he was a great pope. I hope that the next one will have a line similar to the one he started.”
4. Various of Pope Francis postcards
5. SOUNDBITE (Italian) Father Ludovico Maria Centra, Augustinian priest from Rome:
++COMMENTING ON WHETHER THE POPE MIGHT RESIGN++
“He can do it, so if he does it, it is legitimate and in his conscience if he thinks it is useful for the church. I don’t think that a person who comes to this service (as pope) thinks ‘do I sit down and do what is better for myself?’ As Pope Benedict decided to resign, he did it for the good of the Church, because he did not have enough energy anymore, to make sure that the Church always has some, let’s say, leaders, some strong pastors. Then again, it’s also a matter of conscience so whatever he ever does, it will be fine. But let’s hope that he heals, that he gets better, God willing."
6. Nuns
7. Vatican flag
8. SOUNDBITE (French) Christophe Dijon, visitor from Sant-Étienne, France:
“In any case, as Catholics, it is bound to be important for us. He is a head of state and he is the head of the Catholic religion. So it’s important for us too because it’s a guide. So if he has health problems, obviously we are a bit touched."
9. Various of cameramen setting up for lives

11. Various of Saint Peter’s basilica
STORYLINE:
The Vatican says Pope Francis is awake and in good spirits.
It says his therapies are continuing after a quiet night.
Monday is the 10th day of his hospitalization for a complex lung infection that has provoked the early stages of kidney insufficiency.
Late Sunday, doctors reported that blood tests showed early kidney failure that was nevertheless under control.
They said Francis, 88, remained in critical condition but that he hadn’t experienced any further respiratory crises since Saturday.
He is continuing to feed himself and is not receiving artificial or liquid nutrition, the Vatican said.
