Pope Francis, 88, remains in critical condition following a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis that necessitated high-flow oxygen therapy, according to a Vatican statement released Saturday.
The pontiff has been hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital since February 14 due to double pneumonia and a complex lung infection.
Recent blood tests revealed thrombocytopenia and anemia, leading to blood transfusions. Despite his critical state, the Pope is alert and spent the day in an armchair, though experiencing increased discomfort compared to the previous day.
Doctors have expressed concern about the potential onset of sepsis, a severe bloodstream infection that can complicate pneumonia, but as of Friday, there was no evidence of such a development.

The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis will not deliver his usual weekly Angelus prayer on Sunday; instead, the text will be published, as was done the previous weekend.
This hospitalization has reignited discussions about the possibility of papal resignation due to health issues, though Vatican officials emphasize that the current focus is on the Pope’s recovery. The Holy Year celebrations continue in his absence, with the community offering prayers for his recuperation.
