Pope Francis was hospitalized in Rome last week with bronchitis, and was subsequently treated for a respiratory tract infection.
Pope Francis has sent a message to 1.2 billion Catholics across the world after the Vatican confirmed he was in a critical condition.
The 88-year-old is being treated for pneumonia in both lungs and chronic bronchitis at the Catholic Gemelli Hospital in Rome where he was admitted almost 10 days ago.
