Pope Francis is resting following a coughing fit which saw the head of the Catholic Church inhale vomit that needed to be extracted. The Holy See press office said in a short media statement on Saturday that the pontiff had a peaceful night and was resting.

Francis was first admitted to Rome’s Gemelli Hospital two weeks ago, after being plagued by a string of lung-related medical struggles, including bronchitis and then pneumonia.

The Vatican said Francis, 88, who has been hospitalized for pneumonia, was responding well to treatment and that it was too soon to say how serious the incident was.
