Rome — Pope Francis was resting Monday morning after a quiet night on the 10th day of his hospitalization for a complex lung infection that has provoked the early stages of kidney failure, the Vatican said.
The one-line statement didn't say if Francis, 88, had woken up. "The night passed well, the pope slept and is resting," it said.
His condition has revived speculation about what might happen if he becomes unconscious or otherwise incapacitated, and whether he might resign.

France is about to hold its largest-ever child sex abuse trial. While just one man is in the dock — a former surgeon accused of raping or sexual abusing 299 people, mostly child patients — activists hope the trial empowers other victims and helps expose other abusers long protected by societal taboos.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed to make Hamas pay "the full price" for what he called a "cruel and wicked violation" of the tenuous Gaza ceasefire agreement after the Israeli and U.S.-designated terrorist group returned the remains of a Gazan woman instead of an Israeli mother taken hostage with her two young children.

Cairo — Optimism in the Arab world that President Trump might bring a permanent end to the war in the Gaza Strip and, with it, stability to the tumultuous Middle East, soared as he was given a lion's share of the credit for ushering in the current ceasefire. But that hope has faded quickly since Mr. Trump suggested a plan to force Gaza's entire population out and to "take over" the decimated Palestinian territory to develop it as a vacation destination.
