Pope Francis, 88, was discharged from Rome’s Gemelli Hospital after a five-week stay due to a severe respiratory infection. Before leaving, he waved from the hospital balcony in his first public appearance in weeks. Using a wheelchair, he greeted well-wishers, telling one woman, “Brava!” His longest hospitalization since becoming pope in 2013 included critical moments where his life was at risk. Doctors estimate a two-month recovery at home. Vatican officials denied speculation about his resignation. Catholics worldwide continue to pray for his health. ( PC- Reuters)
