Pope Francis health remains critical but stable, Vatican reports

The health condition of Pope Francis, who is suffering from double pneumonia, “remains critical but stable,” the Vatican announced on Tuesday evening, marking the 12th day of his hospitalization. It was emphasized that the 88-year-old pontiff had been working during the day.
“The clinical condition of the Holy Father remains critical but stable,” stated the Holy See in a brief communiqué, adding that “the prognosis remains reserved.”
Pope Francis’ health continues to be a global concern, but the Vatican clarified that the Jesuit remains active: “In the morning, after receiving the Eucharist, he resumed his work.” Additionally, he underwent a “scheduled CT scan for the radiological monitoring of bilateral pneumonia,” a potentially life-threatening infection of the lung tissue.
Earlier, the Vatican had announced that the Pope had received a visit from the Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, the second and third in command of the Holy See, respectively.
During this visit, his first since being admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, the Pope authorized the canonization of two laypersons from Venezuela and Italy, and called for a consistory — an assembly of cardinals — although he did not specify the date.
