Francis has now been in the Gemelli Clinic in Rome for more than two weeks - longer than ever before during his almost twelve years in office. He is being treated in the hospital for bilateral pneumonia. He has not been seen in public since his admission.
On Friday, the Pope had another severe attack of breathlessness. He seemed to be unable to breathe. He was then mechanically ventilated. On Sunday, the Vatican announced that Francis was later no longer dependent on mechanical ventilation and that his condition was "stable".
