Pope Francis was in a critical state after suffering an asthmatic respiratory crisis, Associated Press reported, citing the Vatican.
“The Holy Father is still awake and spent the day in the armchair, although in more pain than yesterday. At this point the forecast is reserved,” the Vatican said in a statement quoted by Associated Press.
The 88-year-old PontiF has been hospitalized for more than a week due to respiratory infection. Doctors later diagnosed Pope Francis with pneumonia.
