Pope Francis Remains Critical With 'Mild Signs Of Kidney Failure'

The thrombocytopenia remains stable; however, some blood tests show early, mild renal insufficiency, which is currently under control."

On Sunday, the Holy See Press Office said

The night went well; the Pope slept and is resting."

A statement from The Vatican read

Everyone can contribute to peace, but solutions must never be pursued through unilateral impositions that risk trampling on the rights of entire peoples, otherwise, there will never be a just and lasting peace.”

He said

The harsh words that were used in the past to refer to gays and divorced and separated people, the unwed mothers etc, in the past they were quite severe. Many people who belonged to those groups were branded and that led to their isolation from the wider society.”

He said in 2015

Pope remained conscious and received supplemental oxygen to help him breathe. He also received blood transfusions after tests showed low counts of platelets, which are needed for clotting

the Vatican said

Let's hope he can keep living,

said Licari

The condition of the Holy Father remains critical; however, since last night he has not experienced further respiratory crises,

the Vatican said on Sunday

I am very, very sad,

said Elvira Romana, from Italy

The complexity of the clinical picture and the necessary wait for drug therapies to provide some feedback dictate that the prognosis remains reserved,

the doctors concluded

Ahmed el-Tayebsheikh

I pray to Allah to grant my dear brother, Pope Francis, a swift recovery and to bless him with good health and well-being so that he may continue his journey in serving humanity,

Sheikh Ahmed al-Tayeb wrote in a Facebook post

As our Holy Father Pope Francis is in very, very fragile health, and probably close to death,

Dolan said at St Patrick’s Cathedral, without saying if he had independent information about the pope’s condition

He received two units of concentrated red blood cells with benefit, and his hemoglobin levels have risen,

the report noted

I urge you to continue your apostolate with joy and to be a sign of a love that embraces everyone, as the #GospelOfTheDay suggests,

In recent days I have received many messages of affection, and I have been particularly struck by the letters and drawings from children,

the pope added

Even though he is in a hospital bed, we feel Pope Francis close to us, we feel him present among us,

Fisichella told the hundreds of white-robed deacons

On the other hand, I think it is quite normal that in these situations uncontrolled rumors can spread or some misplaced comment is uttered. It is certainly not the first time it has happened,

Parolin was quoted as saying

The night was tranquil, the pope rested,

the Vatican said in a one-sentence update on Sunday morning without providing further information

Is the Pope out of danger? No. Both doors are open. Is he at risk of immediate death? No. The therapy needs time to work,

said Alfieri

This morning Pope Francis presented a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis, which also required the application of high-flow oxygen. Daily blood tests showed thrombocytopenia, associated with anaemia, which required the administration of blood transfusions

the statement said

This is the least we can do to express our solidarity, love, and appreciation for this great person,
