Juan Grabois, an Argentine activist and advisor in a Vatican department, wanted to meet Pope Francis in person at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome. Despite his close bond with the Holy Father, he was not allowed to enter his room on the 10th floor. There was a commotion at the hospital door.
Grabois is the founder of the Movement of Excluded Workers and a former member of the Dicastery for Integral Human Development. He has known the pope for years. Their paths crossed in Buenos Aires, when Grabois sought support from José Maria Bergoglio, the future pope, for the socially excluded.
Pope's friend wanted to talk to Francis, but was stopped by guardsJuan Grabois showed up at the Gemelli Clinic on Monday, February 24. He wanted to speak to his friend Francisco in person. However, he was not allowed in, and the guards firmly stopped him, preventing him from crossing the clinic's threshold.
In his book I Met Francis , Grabois describes how the 2001 Argentine economic crisis brought him closer to the future pope. Despite his initial refusal to support him, a friendship developed between the men, based on their similar views of the social situation and the need to involve popular movements in change. This relationship grew even stronger when Bergoglio began to celebrate annual masses for the excluded, a practice that continued until his election to the See of Peter.
"Pope Francis, who has been in hospital since February 14 due to breathing problems and diagnosed pneumonia, had a peaceful night and is currently resting ," the Holy See Press Office reports.
Tests also showed early signs of kidney failure. Despite this, the Pope's health condition is still described as critical, and he has been under constant medical care for 11 days.
