Pope Francis In Critical Condition With Kidney Failure As Prayers Pour In Amid Health Complications

Pope Francis remains in critical condition as early signs of kidney failure emerge, complicating his battle with pneumonia.

The Vatican reports he is alert but receiving high-flow oxygen support.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan admitted the pontiff is in very fragile health as prayers flood in globally.

Medical experts warn of a risk of sepsis.

Despite his condition, Francis remains engaged in Vatican affairs.

His recent moves, including reforms in funeral rites and cardinal appointments, suggest he foresaw his declining health and was preparing for the future leadership of the Catholic Church.
