Pope Francis, 88, remains stable in the hospital as he recovers from double pneumonia but continues to receive high-flow oxygen therapy.

The Vatican confirmed he no longer requires mechanical ventilation and has no fever or signs of infection.

Despite his condition, he attended Mass, met with Vatican officials, and issued a written Sunday blessing, reflecting on frailty, faith, and the absurdity of war.

His prognosis remains “guarded,” though doctors report steady improvement.

Francis, who has a history of lung issues, was hospitalized on Feb. 14 after bronchitis worsened, Fox News has reported.

He has canceled public appearances but continues to pray and recover.
