Pope Francis is currently battling double pneumonia, having been hospitalized for over two weeks. The Vatican reports that the Pope had a peaceful night after facing a health scare, raising concerns about his condition.

The 88-year-old Pontiff experienced a severe breathing crisis on Friday, alarming many about his health status. However, according to an unnamed Vatican official, there have been no subsequent respiratory crises. The Pontiff had breakfast on Saturday, including coffee, as he continued his recovery journey.
