Today’s update from the pope’s doctors dispels the widespread alarm by Friday’s bronchial spasm. An informed Vatican source confirmed that “there have been no negative consequences from that crisis.”

Pope Francis’ clinical condition “remains stable” and is better than yesterday, according to the latest medical report from his doctors in Rome’s Gemelli Hospital, which the Vatican released just before 7 p.m. on the evening of March 1.

At the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast, Vance said he wasn’t there to litigate “about who’s right and who’s wrong,” and credited Francis as one who “cares about the flock of Christians under his under his leadership.”

Pope Francis had a setback after suffering an isolated coughing fit on Friday that resulted in him inhaling vomit, requiring non-invasive mechanical ventilation.

Colleen and Gerry offer the latest update on Pope Francis’ health, his progress, the press conference with his doctors, and the rapid spread of misinformation.

“Throughout the day, he alternated between high-flow oxygen therapy and a Ventimask,” today’s medical report said. A Vatican source described this change as an improvement.
