Pope Francis, 88, was resting Monday morning, his 10th day at the hospital for a complex lung infection that led to the early stages of kidney insufficiency.
Francis, 88, is in critical condition at a Rome hospital with a complex lung infection. The Vatican said he was "alert and spent the day in an armchair" on Saturday.
