The Vatican says Pope Francis, who is hospitalized in critical condition with double pneumonia, was well enough to meet with Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis remained in critical but stable condition Tuesday, with his blood parameters remaining stable as he works from the hospital while battling double pneumonia, the Vatican said.

Last evening’s bulletin the doctors said, however, that, “as a precautionary measure,” they would still maintain a “reserved prognosis,” which means the pope is not yet out of danger.
