Associated PressROME — The Vatican on Monday announced the start of nighttime prayers for the health of Pope Francis in St. Peter's Square, and invited Romans and others to join in, as the 88-year-old pontiff battled a complex lung infection and complications.
“The night passed well, the pope slept and is resting,” it said. A medical bulletin was expected later in the day. Late Sunday, doctors reported that Francis remained in critical condition but that he hadn’t experienced any further respiratory crises since Saturday. Blood tests showed “early, slight kidney insufficiency” that was nevertheless under control.
To date there has been no reference to any onset of sepsis in the medical updates provided by the Vatican.
