Pope Francis, the 86-year-old spiritual leader of the world's 1.3 billion Roman Catholics, was rushed to a hospital in Rome by ambulance Wednesday, and a spokesman said he will spend 'several days' there being treated for a pulmonary infection.

Both Corriere della Sera, a leading Italian daily newspaper, and America magazine, a Jesuit publication, reported the pontiff had suffered “chest pains” Wednesday. America magazine said its sources reported that Francis was first taken to the hospital’s coronary care unit for examination.

Francis reportedly had breathing difficulties “recently,” Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni told the Associated Press. The pope’s health has been a subject of continuing concern both before and after his 2021 surgery that removed about 13 inches of his colon to treat diverticulitis. A bout with pneumonia in 1957 caused the then-Jorge Mario Bergoglio to lose the upper lobe of his right lung, but he was reported to be in good health when elevated to the papacy in 2013.

In an early March interview with Swiss television, the Corriere newspaper reported, the pope conceded he had physical challenges.
