The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis is in stable condition and is not experiencing a fever following a sudden respiratory episode that led to his hospitalization for double pneumonia. While there are no immediate impacts on his health, doctors are closely monitoring his condition as the situation remains complex with a risk of potential crises.
The 88-year-old pontiff experienced respiratory difficulty on Friday, requiring high-flow oxygen to assist with breathing. Although he did not require intubation, he continues to receive oxygen therapy through nose cannulas. It is uncertain how much longer Pope Francis will remain in the hospital.
