Pope Francis remains in critical condition as he battles double pnuemonia, the Vatican has said
The leader of the Catholic Church’s prognosis is still guarded because of the “complexity” of his clinical condition, the Vatican said in an update on Sunday evening.
An earlier update from the Vatican on Sunday said that the Pope had a “tranquil” night and rested after a respiratory crisis and blood transfusions.
“The night was tranquil, the pope rested,” the Vatican said in a one-sentence update on Sunday morning without providing further information.
The 88-year-old Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital on February 14 after experiencing difficulty breathing for several days and subsequently had pneumonia diagnosed in both lungs.
The Vatican described his condition as critical for the first time on Saturday, reporting that he had needed supplemental oxygen and blood transfusions that day after a “prolonged asthma-like respiratory crisis”.
