ROME -- Pope Francis was resting Monday morning after a quiet night, on the 10th day of his hospitalization for a complex lung infection that has provoked the early stages of kidney failure, the Vatican said. The one-line statement didn’t say if Francis, 88, had woken up. “The night passed well, the pope slept and is resting,” it said.

Doctors have said the Pope’s condition is touch-and-go, given his age, fragility and pre-existing lung disease. They have warned that the main threat facing the Pope is sepsis, a serious infection of the blood that can occur as a complication of pneumonia.
