In a recent statement, the Vatican has informed that Pope Francis remains in a "critical" condition but is stable without new respiratory complications. The pontiff, who has been receiving high-flow oxygen therapy and blood transfusions, was admitted to Rome's Gemelli Hospital on February 14 due to severe breathing issues, initially treated for bronchitis but later diagnosed with pneumonia impacting both lungs. Despite his health struggles, the Pope is reported to be alert and oriented, participating in Mass amid the care team. Asking for prayers from Catholics worldwide, this marks the Pope's inability to conduct the traditional Angelus prayer for the second consecutive week. Given his medical history, including a partial lung removal, pneumonia poses a significant risk to his health.
