ROME (AP) — Pope Francis is resting Thursday after a peaceful night during his third week of hospital treatment for double pneumonia. The pope has been sleeping with a non-invasive mechanical mask to guarantee that his lungs expand properly overnight and help his recovery. He has been transitioning to receiving oxygen with a nasal tube during the day. The 88-year-old pope has been stable for two days after suffering two respiratory crises on Monday. Doctors underlined that his prognosis remained guarded.
