Pope Francis, battling double pneumonia, remains in a critical condition and his prognosis is still guarded because of the "complexity" of his clinical condition, the Vatican said on Sunday. The pope was admitted to Rome's Gemelli hospital on February 14 after having trouble breathing for several days and subsequently had pneumonia diagnosed in both lungs.

Pope Francis rested overnight in the hospital, the Vatican said earlier Sunday, adding that his night "passed peacefully."

The Vatican has laws to ensure the transfer of power when a pope dies or resigns, but they don't apply if he is sick.

Our Lady of Assumption in Carmichael is actively praying for Pope Francis's health after learning of his recent health issues.

The Bishop of Rome, Pope Francis is currently hospitalized due to double pneumonia also known as bilateral pneumonia that affects the lungs. According to the Vatican, Pope was admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Polyclinic for diagnostic tests and treatment for bronchitis.
