The Vatican said on Saturday evening: "The Holy Father's condition continues to be critical, therefore, as explained yesterday, the Pope is not out of danger.
POPE Francis is now in a critical condition after suffering a "prolonged respiratory crisis" on Saturday.
"This morning Pope Francis presented a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis, which also required the application of high-flow oxygen.
Despite the Vatican previously saying Francis' condition was stable, the new reports suggest he fears he will soon die and is "tying up loose ends" ahead of his successor.
Earlier on Saturday, the Vatican shared a short update saying the Pope had "rested well", as Catholics across the world hold out hope that he gets better.
