Francis Will Not Resume Former Leadership Style
Francis will not return to governing the Church in the same way he did before his recent hospitalisation, Cardinal Pietro Parolin said on March 27 at the Fraterna Domus in Sacrofano, near Rome.
"Different approaches will have to be found, but he will still be able to carry out his duties," Parolin told Ansa.it.
"Francis is resting. He is not receiving visitors," Cardinal Parolin said, emphasizing that the most important thing now is for Francis to “recover gradually.”
He also noted that Francis is receiving many prayers, messages, and expressions of affection during this time.
This week, the Vatican released the liturgical calendar for Holy Week through the Second Sunday of Easter.
No announcement was made about who will preside at the liturgies. Francis will likely not participate. The official word remains that "nothing has been decided yet."

Parolin can forget about becoming Pope.
This buffoon so wants to be pope and is campaigning for it, both should disqualify him.
Cardinal Parolin: “The Pope will return to govern, perhaps not like before, but we will need to find different ways.”
Hmmm….Translation: His Holiness is no longer able to govern the Church under his own cognizance and strength, and is not going to abdicate. A new or different Papal governing structure will be instituted to cover for that, so all will appear normal and the work of the Vatican can move forward during the sunset of his Pontificate. Well, the Church has been at this impasse many times before over the centuries, with an impaired and enfeebled Pontiff who did not wish to relinquish the Keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. So we shall see how this all turns out.
It's not like Easter celebration was ever at the top of their priority. He might as well cancel it like he did 5 years ago.
There should be an age cap on the papal office, as there is for bishops and pastors of parishes.
