The Vatican has confirmed that Pope Francis has developed double pneumonia, complicating his ongoing treatment for bronchitis.
However, the 86-year-old Pontiff remains in good spirits and continues to receive medical care at the A.
Gemelli Polyclinic Foundation in Rome.
In a Tuesday evening press release, the Holy See Press Office provided an update on the Pope's condition, describing it as "complex." "Laboratory tests, chest X-rays, and the clinical condition of the Holy Father continue to present a complex picture," the statement read.
