Vatican City – Pope Francis remains in critical condition for a second consecutive day, battling double pneumonia and mild kidney failure, the Vatican confirmed, as reported by CNN. Though he has not suffered further respiratory crises, his prognosis remains uncertain as he undergoes oxygen therapy and treatment at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital.
The pontiff was once again unable to deliver the traditional Angelus prayer in person, marking the second Sunday in a row he has missed the address. He reached out to Catholics worldwide, expressing gratitude for their prayers.
