Pope Francis "rested well" throughout the Monday night as he continued to battle double pneumonia in hospital, the Vatican said early Tuesday.

ROME (AP) — Pope Francis, hospitalized in critical condition with double pneumonia, was well enough to meet with the Vatican secretary of state to approve new decrees for saints and call a formal meeting to set the dates for their canonization, the Vatican said Tuesday.

Last evening’s bulletin the doctors said, however, that, “as a precautionary measure,” they would still maintain a “reserved prognosis,” which means the pope is not yet out of danger.
