Pope Francis remains in critical condition as he battles pneumonia in both lungs, with Vatican officials confirming mild signs of kidney failure. Despite ongoing medical care, the Pope is stable, alert, and continues to receive oxygen.
Hospitalized for over a week, the 88-year-old pontiff took part in Sunday Mass from his hospital room at Gemelli Clinic in Rome. Doctors have advised complete rest, but Pope Francis continues to oversee key Vatican decisions.
This marks his longest hospital stay since assuming the papacy. Given his past respiratory issues, including the removal of part of a lung in his youth, medical experts are closely monitoring his condition.
As the world prays for his recovery, the Vatican remains cautious about his prognosis. Millions of Catholics and well-wishers worldwide hope for his swift return to health.
