VATICAN CITY – After another eventful year in which efforts to reform the Catholic Church continued despite serious health problems, Pope Francis shared the sweetness of his 87th birthday with children. Thousands gathered in St. Peter’s Square to hear the message on Sunday, wishing the Pope a happy birthday. ‘Happy Birthday’ banners were everywhere.
Last year, the Pope was hospitalized twice due to lung infections. He had to cancel his participation in the recent Dubai Climate Summit due to illness. Had to stay in hospital for 9 days following hernia surgery in June.
Despite being unable to attend some important events due to health reasons, church renewal efforts continued strongly last year. The Vatican tribunal’s sentencing of Cardinal Angelo Becciu, who committed financial irregularities, on Saturday is a crucial milestone in the Church’s reform process.
