The Holy See Press Office announced on Tuesday that Pope Francis is suffering from pneumonia in both lungs, stating that his condition requires further medical therapy.
The 88-year-old pontiff was admitted to the hospital on February 14 with symptoms originally resembling bronchitis. Later, reports said his clinical picture was "complex" and that his condition remained stable but required him to remain at the hospital to receive treatment.
No further details about the pope's condition were revealed, although the Vatican stated that he was in "good spirits."
