Doctors this week said the 88-year-old pope was no longer in critical, life-threatening condition, but have continued to emphasize that his condition remained complex due to his age, lack of mobility and the loss of part of a lung as a young man.

Vatican announced Friday that it would provide medical updates less frequently, in what it called a positive development.

Doctors have not indicated how much longer Francis will be hospitalized.
