During his second week back at the Vatican after a long hospitalization, Pope Francis continued to follow his doctors' orders to stay home, avoid visitors and keep up with respiratory and physical therapy, the Vatican press office said.
Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Vatican's foreign minister, warned on March 25 that the Trump administration's decision to gut the United States' foreign aid assistance has created a "problem worldwide."
"Hallelujah!" That's what countless Catholics exclaimed as Pope Francis left the hospital Sunday after more than a month fighting pneumonia. It's also the name of a new gelato flavor.
The same day Pope Francis was discharged from Rome's Gemelli hospital after a five-week stay for treatment for double pneumonia, a group of Vatican doctors took their Lenten alms initiative a step further and helped provide medical care to a group of migrants.
Over 12 years, Francis has sought to impose a kind of normality on the papacy with his informal style and disdain for pomp. During his five-week hospitalization for pneumonia, he has followed that same playbook.
