Pope Francis' condition remains 'critical': Vatican

Pope Francis' condition "continues to be critical," the Vatican said Saturday, explaining that he was alert and in his armchair but also required "high-flow oxygen" and blood transfusions.

"This morning Pope Francis presented a prolonged asthmatic respiratory crisis, which also required the application of high-flow oxygen," it said in a statement, saying daily blood tests showed a condition associated with anemia "which required the administration of blood transfusions."
