Pope Francis will have a peaceful night after breathing the crisis, the Vatican says | Pope Francis

Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for two weeks with pneumonia in both lungs, spent a peaceful night after suffering from a respiratory crisis, the Vatican said.

Francis, 88, suffered from an “isolated breathing crisis,” which caused him to vomit, causing him to “suddenly worsen” his breathing conditions, the Vatican said.

Officials said Friday’s crisis would not last long and it is expected that clergy doctors will need 24 to 48 hours to assess how the event will affect his clinical condition.

An episode at Gemeri Hospital in Rome came three days after the Pope’s health showed slight improvements. In other words, his situation was thought to be no longer important.

“The Pope is resting with a peaceful night,” the Vatican said in a statement Saturday.

Francis was hospitalized on February 14th with bronchitis, but his condition deteriorated to double pneumonia.

Because he develops pleuropathy as a young adult, and is more likely to remove isolated pneumonia while he trains to become a priest in his hometown of Argentina.

Health experts say Francis’ age and the chronic respiratory illness he suffers from means that sustained recovery takes time.

The Pope was also admitted to the hospital in March 2023 due to his ultimate diagnosis of pneumonia and undertook Operation Colon in June 2021.

However, he maintained a fierce schedule until his latest hospitalization, particularly at events related to the year of Catholic Jubilee.

According to the Vatican, he continues his work from the suite of a special hospital on the 10th floor of Gemeri, where he performs breathing exercises between rest and prayer.
