Pour la première fois depuis le 9 février, le pontife de 88 ans doit faire un salut et une bénédiction pour la prière de l’Angélus, avant de quitter l’hôpital Gemelli. Sa pneumonie n’a pas été « éliminée », mais est « sous contrôle », selon le Vatican.
Pope Francis is scheduled to return to the Vatican on Sunday after a five-week hospital stay for double pneumonia, which is now under control. He will give a blessing from his hospital window on Sunday before returning to the Vatican for a convalescence period of at least two months. His doctors report he is improving and hopes to resume normal activities soon. This marks the first time since 2013 that he has missed the weekly Angelus prayer for five consecutive weeks. The Vatican has confirmed his health improvements and has received messages of support and prayers. The pope's illness raised concerns about leadership during the upcoming Easter religious events.
