Pope Francis is in critical condition after a respiratory crisis, Vatican says
ai generated text
Pope Francis's condition has been described as critical by the Vatican, with various updates on his health over the past few days. He has been hospitalized for a week with a complex lung infection, including pneumonia in both lungs.
As our Holy Father Pope Francis is in very, very fragile health, and probably close to death.
Despite his hospital confinement, we sense Pope Francis's presence amongst us.
This morning Pope Francis presented with a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis, which also required the application of high-flow oxygen.
There is no question that if he was in a situation where his ability to have direct contact [with the public] was compromised, then I think he might decide to resign.
But this is the real risk in these cases: that these germs pass to the bloodstream.
Today's blood tests also revealed thrombocytopenia, associated with anemia, which required the administration of blood transfusions.
