Doctors on Friday said the 88-year-old Francis is "not out of danger" ​and that the main threat facing him would be the onset of sepsis.

Pope Francis remains in critical condition after suffering a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis, the Vatican announced Saturday.

Pope Francis isn’t at imminent risk of dying from his bout of pneumonia and his condition has improved slightly in recent days, although he isn’t yet in the clear, doctors at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital told reporters on Friday.
