2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicole Winfield, The Associated Press:
“Pope Francis remains in critical conditions and doctors say that he is showing the early signs of kidney failure but that it is under control. They say he has had no more of those crises, those respiratory crises that dogged him all day Saturday, he is continuing though to receive high flows of supplemental oxygen. They say he is alert, responsive, and even managed to attend Mass today but that prognosis remains guarded.”
3. St. Peter’s Basilica
STORYLINE:
Pope Francis remained in a critical condition Sunday and blood tests showed early kidney failure but he remains alert, responsive and attended Mass, the Vatican said, as the 88-year-old pontiff battles pneumonia and a complex lung infection.
In a late update, the Vatican said Francis hadn’t had any more respiratory crises since Saturday night but was still receiving high flows of supplemental oxygen.
Some blood tests showed “initial, mild, kidney failure,” but doctors said it was under control.
“The complexity of the clinical picture, and the necessary wait for drug therapies to provide some feedback, dictate that the prognosis remains guarded,” Francis’ doctors concluded.
Prayers for Francis, meanwhile, poured in from around the world, from his native Argentina to the seat of Sunni Islam in Cairo to schoolchildren in Rome.
