2. SOUNDBITE (English) Nicole Winfield, The Associated Press:
“Doctors say Pope Francis is continuing to stabilize, he didn’t need any of the mechanical ventilation that he has been using since Friday, also he is showing no new signs of fever or an infection. That’s a sign that he has overcome this crisis that he had on Friday, this coughing crisis that sparked some fears of a new infection. Additionally, the Pope was able to attend mass this morning, spent the rest of the day resting and in prayer, and he had two visitors, the Cardinal Secretary of State and Chief of Staff came to visit him, we don’t know what they spoke about but these are meetings that the pope would have anyway at least once a week when he is at the Vatican. Doctors though still say that his prognosis is guarded, meaning he is not out of danger yet.”

STORYLINE:
Pope Francis remained in stable condition and didn’t need any mechanical ventilation on Sunday, the Vatican said.
It was a sign that he had overcome the possible complications from a respiratory crisis on Friday and that his breathing function overall was improving as he recovers from double pneumonia.
The 88-year-old pope did continue to receive high flow supplemental oxygen after Friday’s coughing episode, which sparked fears of a new lung infection.
Doctors in their late Sunday update said Francis remained stable but again referred to the complexity of his overall condition and kept his prognosis at guarded, meaning he wasn’t out of danger.
Francis, who has been in the hospital since Feb. 14, rested, prayed in his private chapel and participated in Mass for the rest of the day after having a visit in the morning from the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and his chief of staff, Archbishop Edgar Pena Parra.
The content of their talks wasn’t known, but even when at the Vatican, Francis meets at least weekly with them.
