Italy Pope's doctor: Francis not yet out of danger

According to his doctors, Pope Francis is not yet out of danger even after a week of inpatient treatment in hospital. The clinical picture of the 88-year-old head of the Catholic Church remains complex, said the attending physician Sergio Alfieri at a press conference in the Gemelli Clinic in Rome. However, Alfieri emphasized that Francis' life is not in danger. The Pope is suffering from pneumonia.
