  The latest medical reports on 88-year-old Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized since Feb. 14, at Rome's Policlinico Gemelli due to a respiratory infection, now mentioned “kidney failure” and a bout of asthma. Vatican sources said he slept well on Sunday night, in good spirits, eating normally and experiencing no pain. However, a rosary is to be held Monday at St Peter's Square at 9 pm Rome's time for the prompt recovery of the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires and the ill. The event will be presided over by Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.
