Pope Francis leaves hospital 9 days after operation
- Pope Francis has been discharged from the Gemelli hospital in Rome after recovering from abdominal surgery. He left the hospital in a wheelchair, was photographed praying at a basilica, and visited a convent and a hospital ward before returning to the Vatican. He will deliver his weekly Angelus prayer this Sunday but has cancelled a general audience next Wednesday.
- Francis has a history of health issues, and there is no vice pope in the Catholic system to deputize his authority in his absence. The pontiff revealed in December that he had arranged a letter of resignation in the case of permanent medical impairment, an unprecedented move.
