About this sermon
Today, the Holy Father suffered two episodes of acute respiratory insufficiency. Two bronchoscopies were therefore performed, with the need to remove large secretions. Later, non-invasive mechanical ventilation was resumed. The Holy Father remained alert, oriented, and cooperative at all times. Although the prognosis remains guarded, the Pope's blood test values are unchanged and suggest that he does not have leukocytosis. This suggests that there is no new infection, and the accumulation of mucus is merely the consequence of the Pope's pre-existing pneumonia. The Pope's clinical condition remains complex, and further crises, such as those that occurred this afternoon, are possible.
