VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Francis' condition continues to be stable and a chest X-ray "confirmed the improvements recorded in the previous days," his doctors said, but without saying his double pneumonia had cleared up completely.

Pope Francis, battling double pneumonia in hospital for almost a month, remains stable and a recent X-ray confirmed improvements in his condition that had been seen in previous days, the Vatican said on Wednesday.

Pope Francis' health has shown improvement and doctors say he is no longer in immediate danger due to pneumonia, the Vatican said.

The 88-year-old isn’t out of the woods yet, however. Doctors are still cautious and have decided to keep him hospitalized for several more days to receive treatment, not to mention rehabilitation.

The Vatican has issued a fresh statement on the health of Pope Francis, with an update from the doctors. Followers prayed for the pontiff on seeing the statement.
