Vatican Watch: Pope ‘Slept All Night’ After Experiencing Two Respiratory Failures

The Vatican shared Tuesday morning that Pope Francis slept all night and continues to rest following two acute respiratory failures the day before.

Francis, 88, has been hospitalized since February 14 with pneumonia in both lungs. Yesterday, he experienced a “significant accumulation of endobronchial mucus and a consequent bronchospasm,” according to the Vatican, which requires bronchoscopies to remove the mucus buildup.

According to Vatican News, “His clinical condition remains complex, and further respiratory crises remain possible. The Pope’s doctors said his prognosis remains “guarded.”

The news comes after earlier reports suggested he was on the mend and would be discharged soon, and two weeks after the Vatican sent a letter to US bishops decrying mass deportation and rejecting “any measure that tacitly or explicitly identifies the illegal status of some migrants with criminality.”

Two years ago, Francis was hospitalized after undergoing a three-hour surgery to repair a hernia in his abdomen. At that time, he revealed that he has already drafted and signed a letter of resignation from his position as the head of the Roman Catholic church in case health issues prevent him from carrying on his duties If the decrepit and corrupt pope does resign, he would be only the second pope in over 600 years, following the example of his predecessor, Benedict XVI, in 2013, and then Gregory XII, in 1415.

Despite his hospitalization and discomfort, Francis, the fifth oldest pope in history, remains in “good spirits,” according to the Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni.

We recently covered Francis after he cautioned priests against preaching sermons that lasts longer than 8 minute, instructing them to share a brief idea, feeling, and call to action, or else congregants will justifiably doze off.
