<p>The Italian media reported on Thursday that former pope Benedict XVI continues to suffer from serious health issues but his condition was currently stable. Pope Francis informed the public that Benedict was “very ill” and requested everyone to pray for him during his address on Wednesday.</p>

<p>The Vatican also confirmed the news regarding his health and said that it was mainly due to "due to advancing age". AFP further reported that the deterioration started around three days ago.</p>

<p>The ANSA news agency also quoted an unnamed source while providing update on his health.</p>
