VATICAN CITY, Feb 25, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Pope Francis, who is hospitalised in critical condition with pneumonia in both lungs, "rested well all night long", the Vatican said Tuesday.

The Holy See late Monday said the 88-year-old pontiff was showing a "slight improvement." Pope Francis was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on February 14 with breathing difficulties, but his condition worsened, with his bronchitis developing into double pneumonia.
