Pope Francis to be released from hospital on Sunday
Pope Francis has made his first public appearance in five weeks before being discharged on Sunday from the hospital, where he survived a severe case of pneumonia that twice threatened his life and raised the prospect of a papal resignation or funeral.
The Pope appeared on a balcony to offer a Sunday blessing from the 10th-floor papal suite at Rome’s Gemelli hospital.

Doctors have said he should refrain from meeting in big groups or exerting himself.
