Pope Francis is in stable condition in a Rome hospital, showing signs of improvement two days after he suffered a breathing crisis.
On Sunday morning, the Vatican said the 88-year-old pontiff had spent a tranquil night, as he had the previous one, and was resting. A health update Saturday evening said “the clinical conditions of the Holy Father have remained stable.”
