CNN - The Vatican says Pope Francis is in critical condition and is experiencing "mild" kidney failure due to a complex medical issue that landed him in the hospital over a week ago. While officials say he is responding to treatment, it's another unwelcome health complication for the 88-year-old pontiff. Francis is currently fighting pneumonia in both lungs and suffered an acute respiratory crisis on Saturday, which is "currently under control," the Vatican said. The Pope continues to be "vigilant and well oriented," the Vatican added, though he did not deliver the weekly Angelus prayer Sunday — for only the third time in his almost 12-year papacy.
