This fine fella be 88 years young and has been fightin' off a nasty double pneumonia for near two weeks now, takin' refuge in Rome's Gemelli Hospital, where doctors be givin' him the once-over.

Word from the Vatican be that our pontiff had a grand night’s rest and be enjoyin' his mornin' grub with a smile as bright as a treasure chest! The Holy See declared, "The Pope slept well last night," like a sailor after a long voyage.
