Pope Francis, 88, is in critical condition as he battles double pneumonia at Rome’s Gemelli hospital. After struggling to breathe, he required oxygen support and blood transfusions following a severe respiratory crisis.
🔹 The Vatican said he had a calm night, but his condition remains serious.
🔹 Doctors warn the infection could spread to his bloodstream, leading to sepsis—a life-threatening complication.
🔹 Pilgrims gather outside the Vatican and hospital, praying for his recovery.
Francis has faced health issues for years, having had part of his lung removed in his youth. Now, his frailty and age make his condition even more dangerous.
As the world prays for him, a special Mass is being held in Rome tonight to ask for his strength and healing. Will Pope Francis overcome this greatest challenge of his papacy? Stay tuned for updates. 🙏
