(LifeSiteNews) — Pope Francis has ‘mild kidney failure’ and remains in critical condition, the Vatican reported today.
The Vatican's latest update said that Francis remains “vigilant and well-oriented” and that he attended Mass today in his hospital suite. His diagnosis remains confidential due to the “complexity of the clinical picture.”
Francis was taken to the Gemelli hospital in Rome Friday, February 14, for bronchitis, and since then was diagnosed with double pneumonia in what was described as a “complex” medical scenario. The Vatican announced Saturday that Francis remains in critical condition and was recently administered a blood transfusion and “high flows” of oxygen.
