From Global News.

In the latest update from the Vatican regarding the health of Pope Francis – who has been in “critical condition” for a day – the pontiff’s blood tests are now showing early kidney failure.

Despite the alarming update and a necessity for high flows of supplemental oxygen, Rome’s Gemelli hospital says the Pope remains alert and “well-oriented.”

Pope Francis was hospitalized on Feb. 14 due to a “complex” respiratory infection, and has since shown the onset of bilateral pneumonia.

Catholics from near and far have gathered in both Rome and Vatican City offering prayers to the 88-year-old bishop.
