Pope Francis off mechanical ventilation, signalling improvement
Briefly

Pope Francis has been hospitalized since February 14 due to pneumonia in both lungs, facing complications and respiratory issues. Recent updates indicate that his condition is stable, with no mechanical ventilation required. Despite improvements, doctors maintain a guarded prognosis, highlighting the seriousness of his health situation. The pontiff continues to pray and participate in Mass, thanking his medical team and supporters. In a recent message, he reflected on the absurdity of war and the blessings found even in frailty, expressing empathy for those suffering.
Many signs indicate the pope's condition is improving after a respiratory crisis on Friday afternoon resulted in him inhaling vomit during a coughing fit.
I feel in my heart the 'blessing' that is hidden within frailty, because it is precisely in these moments that we learn even more to trust in the Lord.
The update concluded that the pope was stable but that his clinical picture remains "complex" and kept his prognosis as "guarded", meaning the pontiff is not yet out of danger.
Pope Francis remained in stable condition and didn't need any mechanical ventilation on Sunday, the Vatican said.
