Pope Francis had a calm night with no more crises after a sudden worsening of his health, the Vatican says.

The pope woke up, had coffee and read newspapers, and he continues to be able to move and sit in his armchair.

On Friday , he had an "isolated crisis of bronchospasm," which is when the muscles that line the airways in the lungs tighten.

The episode caused the 88-year-old pope to inhale vomit.
