The Holy See Press Office informed journalists on Wednesday morning that Pope Francis remains critical but stable while receiving treatment for double pneumonia.

Además de Hernández, los Decretos que el Pontífice promulgó aprueban la petición de canonización del beato Bartolo Longo, fundador del Santuario de Pompeya.

Although Pope Francis remained hospitalized for treatment of double pneumonia, he authorized the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints to promulgate the decrees during a meeting February 24 with Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, and Archbishop Edgar Peña Parra, substitute secretary of state.

Unos 27 cardenales residentes en Roma y decenas de miembros de la Curia Romana se sentaron a un lado mientras el cardenal Pietro Parolin, Secretario de Estado Vaticano, se arrodillaba ante la imagen, dirigiendo el rezo del rosario el 24 de febrero.

About 27 cardinals living in Rome and dozens of members of the Roman Curia sat to the side as Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Vatican secretary of state, knelt before the image, leading a recitation of the rosary on February 24.
