JAKARTA - Pope Francis, who is in critical condition in hospital for battling double pneumonia, is conscious. The Pope rested well throughout the night and continued his treatment.

The 88-year-old whale spent his 12th day at Rome's Gemelli hospital, which is the longest hospitalization for nearly 12 years of his papal period.

The Pope rested well throughout the night, the Vatican said in a statement one sentence that did not provide further details reported by Reuters on Tuesday, February 25.

A Vatican official, who did not want to be named because he was not authorized to speak of the Pope's condition, said Pope Francis ate normally, moved in the hospital room, and continued his treatment.

On Monday, the Vatican said the Pope's condition was still critical but showed slight improvement'. The mild kidney disease condition, which was first reported on weekends, was said to be nothing to worry about.

Double pneumonia is a serious infection in both lungs that can be inflamed and cause scars, making it difficult to breathe.

The Vatican described Pope Francis' infection as a "complex" disease and said the disease was caused by two or more microorganisms.

The Pope signaled in early February that he had a severe flu, meaning he could not read his speech.

Despite this, he continues to hold meetings every day and even takes part in Masses in open spaces, despite the cold weather.
