Pope Francis experienced two episodes of “acute respiratory insufficiency” on Monday, according to the Vatican, marking a significant setback for the 88-year-old pontiff as he continues to battle double pneumonia.

The pope, who has been hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital since February 14, is once again receiving “non-invasive, mechanical ventilation” to assist with his breathing.

Vatican Releases Detailed Medical Update on Pope Francis

The Vatican’s latest medical update revealed that the pope’s respiratory issues were caused by a “significant accumulation of endobronchial mucus.”

He also suffered a bronchospasm, similar to an asthma attack, which required doctors to perform two bronchoscopies to inspect his air passages. Despite these interventions, the pope’s prognosis remains “guarded,” indicating that he is not yet out of danger.

Stable Blood Tests Offer Some Reassurance

An unnamed Vatican official stated that the pope’s blood tests on Monday remained stable, offering a glimmer of hope amid the concerning developments. The official added that the respiratory episodes are believed to be part of the body’s natural response to fighting infection.

Pope Francis’ Previous Respiratory Episodes and Treatment

This latest setback follows a bronchospasm on Friday, after which the pope was placed on ventilation. By Sunday, he had transitioned to receiving oxygen through a small tube under his nose. Over the weekend, Vatican statements had been relatively positive about his condition, making Monday’s developments particularly concerning.

Pope Francis’ History of Respiratory Issues

Pope Francis has faced several health challenges over the past two years, including recurring lung infections. His vulnerability to respiratory issues stems from a history of pleurisy in his youth, which led to the removal of part of one lung. Double pneumonia, a serious infection affecting both lungs, has further complicated his recovery, causing inflammation and scarring that make breathing difficult.

Why It Matters

The pope has not been seen in public since his hospitalization, making it his longest absence from view since he became pope in March 2013. His doctors have not provided a timeline for his treatment or recovery, leaving the Catholic community worldwide uncertain and anxiously awaiting positive updates on his condition, with prayers a and vigils being held on his behalf for quick recovery.
