The press office for the Vatican said Sunday that Pope Francis was able to rest overnight as he slowly recovers from double pneumonia after initially being hospitalized for bronchitis.

Pope Francis, who has been hospitalized for more than a week, had a peaceful night which “passed quietly” after suffering from a respiratory crisis on Saturday, the Holy See Press Office said Sunday morning.

Pope Francis was in critical condition Saturday after he suffered a long asthmatic respiratory crisis that required high flows of oxygen, the Vatican said.
