VATICAN CITY (AP)– Pope Francis went Sunday to a Rome medical facility for set up surgical treatment for a stenosis, or constraint, of the big intestine, the Vatican said.The brief statement from the Holy Sees press office didnt say precisely when the surgical treatment would be performed but said there would be an announcement when the surgery is complete.Just three hours earlier, Francis had cheerfully welcomed the public in St. Peters Square in keeping with a Sunday custom and informed them he will go to Hungary and Slovakia in September. The Vatican stated the pope had actually been identified with “symptomatic diverticular stenosis of the colon,” a reference to a constricting in the large intestine.A week previously, Francis, 84, had used the very same look to ask the public for unique prayers for himself, which, in hindsight may have been hinting at the planned surgical treatment at Romes Gemelli Polyclinic.”I ask you to pray for the pope, hope in a special way,” Francis had actually asked the faithful in the square in his June 27 look.
