ROME (AP) — Pope Francis’ medical team says the pontiff’s condition isn’t life-threatening. But they said Friday that Francis isn’t out of danger. The 88-year-old pontiff marked his first week in a hospital with pneumonia on top of chronic bronchitis. Francis’ doctors delivered their first in-person update on the pope’s condition. They said that he would remain hospitalized at least all of next week. The pope is receiving occasional supplements of oxygen and is responding to strengthened drug therapy for pneumonia. Francis was admitted to Rome’s Gemellli hospital on Feb. 14 after his bronchitis worsened. Doctors have diagnosed pneumonia in both lungs and a complex infection.
