(ANSA) – CITY VATCIANO, NOVEMBER 11 – Pope Francis telephoned Mons. Marco Salvi, auxiliary bishop of Perugia-Città della Pieve, quarantined for asymptomatic positive in Covid, for more information on the health of Card. Gualtiero Bassetti, archbishop of Perugia and president of the CEI, hospitalized in serious condition due to the virus. This was reported by ‘La Voce’, the newspaper of the diocese of Perugia.
The official and daily medical bulletin was not enough for the Pope, who wanted to call in person, to understand if there was a hint of improvement or some timid positive sign between the lines of the note from the Perugia hospital. “Come on, come on, come on …” Pope Francis repeated several times to Bishop Marco as a sign of encouragement to be sent to the cardinal. The Pope – the diocesan website still reports – wanted to show his closeness in prayer and thanked the hospital staff for the work they are doing. He asked Mgr Save to send the message to the card. Bassetti, ASAP. (HANDLE).
