ROME, ITALY - FEBRUARY 22: Nuns pray during a Rosary service in front of the Gemelli hospital, on February 22, 2025 in Rome, Italy. Pope Francis was hospitalized in Rome last week with bronchitis, and was subsequently treated for a respiratory tract infection. Today's official bulletin released by the Vatican Press Office states that the condition of the Holy Father continues to be critical. This morning, the Pontiff experienced an asthma-like respiratory crisis of prolonged intensity, which required the administration of high-flow oxygen. Today's blood tests also revealed thrombocytopenia, associated with anemia, which required the administration of blood transfusions. (Photo by Alessandra Benedetti - Corbis/Corbis via Getty Images)
