A Vatican source stated on Friday that Pope Francis’s condition, who is 88 years old and suffering from pneumonia in both lungs, is not now critical. This comes after a number of clinical advances. The Vatican reports that the Argentine pope’s condition has gradually improved in recent days while he has been in Rome’s Gemelli hospital for the last two weeks. The “criticality has passed, for the moment,” according to a Vatican source, but they cautioned that Francis’s general health “remains complex” and that his prognosis is still “reserved.”
The Vatican announced on Friday that the pope had passed another restful night in the hospital. The pontiff’s health, which began with breathing problems and progressed to pneumonia in both lungs, caused widespread concern after he was admitted to the hospital on February 14. However, the respiratory problem Pope had over the weekend has not returned, and the Vatican has since issued more upbeat medical reports.

Following reports of a “further, slight improvement” on Wednesday, the Vatican announced on Thursday that the “clinical conditions of the Holy Father are confirmed to be improving today also.”
