The 88 year old is being treated in hospital for double pneumonia and chronic bronchitis.
The Vatican's confirmed he is more unwell than he was yesterday - and has undergone a blood transfusion because of a low platelet count.
Sky New's Lisa Holland, in Vatican City, says the Vatican's given the sense of being very concerned - with updates this morning suggesting he's still at high risk.
