SUMMARY: Pope Francis remains in critical condition, receiving high supplemental oxygen following a respiratory crisis and blood transfusions. The 88-year-old, who has a history of lung issues, was hospitalized on February 14 due to a complex lung infection resulting in pneumonia. A Vatican update reported that he stabilized overnight but continues to face a reserved prognosis. While unable to celebrate Mass, he sent a message for prayers, highlighting the upcoming anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Doctors warn of potential sepsis, but no signs have emerged yet. Recent decisions by Francis indicate his awareness of his declining health and preparations for succession.
