The Pope is in Critical Condition in Intensive Care (3 photos)

27 February 2025

We start this morning with news from the Vatican.





Jorge Mario Bergoglio (the pontiff's secular name) was hospitalized in Rome's Gemelli Hospital on February 14 with a diagnosis of pneumonia. Since then, the 88-year-old patient's condition has not stabilized.



Initially, he complained of breathing difficulties, but after all the efforts of doctors, the situation worsened to a "critical" state.



The pontiff is currently conscious in intensive care, and has received a blood transfusion to increase the level of red blood cells and platelets. This was reported by the press service of the Holy See. Doctors are making "cautious" predictions.
