The Vatican has announced that Pope Francis, 88, is in a critical state following a significant respiratory episode described as an "asthma-like crisis." Official statements indicate that he is more unwell than the previous day despite being alert and seated in his armchair. The pontiff is undergoing treatment for pneumonia affecting both lungs, a condition for which he was first hospitalized on February 14, after struggling with breathing issues for several days.
In light of his condition, the pope will miss another public appearance, as he also did the previous week when he was unable to lead prayer with pilgrims. Although his doctors noted that there is currently no imminent risk to his life, they emphasize that the pope is "not out of danger." The overall prognosis remains cautious as medical staff continue to monitor his situation closely.
