Pope Francis remains in critical condition after experiencing a severe asthmatic respiratory crisis. The Vatican indicated that his condition is critical and he is not out of danger, with a reserved prognosis. The 88-year-old Pontiff was hospitalized for bronchitis and developed pneumonia in both lungs. The Vatican stated that the polymicrobial infection has made treatment more complex due to his underlying conditions. Despite a statement earlier this week that he was stable and showing slight improvement, his condition has worsened. However, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni reported that Francis was alert and responsive during their meeting. Francis, who has a history of health problems and surgeries, indicated in his autobiography released in January that he has no plans to resign. His ongoing health issues have raised concerns, but he has continued to fulfill his duties as the head of the Catholic Church. The Vatican is closely monitoring his condition as medical teams work to stabilize him.
