The Vatican has announced that Pope Francis remains in serious condition but is responding appropriately to all necessary treatments.
Foreign media reported that despite his health concerns, the Pope’s blessing was received for the Holy Mass.
Yesterday (23rd), Pope Francis was in critical condition, with doctors confirming early signs of kidney failure based on blood test results.
The 88-year-old Pontiff was hospitalized last week due to a respiratory illness, which later developed into pneumonia affecting both lungs.
His health deteriorated further due to a pre-existing condition, leading to a drop in platelet levels and the need for a blood transfusion. Doctors also administered oxygen to assist with his breathing difficulties.
Reports indicate that treatment for his illness is still ongoing.
Amid these developments, the global Christian community has united in prayer for the recovery of Pope Francis.
Meanwhile, the Pope has requested transparency regarding his health, prompting the Vatican to issue regular updates on his condition.
