Pope Francis will continue to be hospitalized after his health situation deteriorated over the weekend. The pontiff, who entered the facility on Friday over a bronchitis that worsened over a week, is facing a "complex clinical picture" that will require him to stay indefinitely, said Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni.
The official detailed that the pope is suffering from a "polymicrobial respiratory tract infection" and that the complexity of his symptoms will require an "appropriate hospital stay." He added that he ate breakfast on Monday and read newspapers after a third peaceful night.
