'I'm still alive': Pope Francis leaves hospital after bronchitis episode

The pope, who marked the 10th anniversary of his pontificate in March, has suffered a number of ailments in recent years.This time, looking to show the world that he was fully recovered, Francis got out of his car on his way out, greeting well-wishers and talking to waiting reporters. He used a walking stick to support himself.

He embraced a couple whose daughter had died overnight in the hospital and prayed with them, and also signed the plaster cast of a young boy with a broken arm. He waved from the window of his car as he was driven back to the Vatican.Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni confirmed on Friday that Francis was expected to take part in this weekend's service for Palm Sunday — a major event in the Church calendar that kicks off Easter week celebrations.

Holy Week, as it is known, includes a busy schedule of rituals and ceremonies that can be physically exhausting, including a Good Friday night-time procession by Rome's Colosseum.The dean of the college of cardinals, Giovanni Battista Re, has said a cardinal would help the pope during the week's celebrations and take care of altar duties.

A similar arrangement was put in place last year, when the pope sat to one side during some Easter events due to persistent knee pain, leaving it to senior cardinals to lead the Masses.

Glutton.

No he is not alive.

So god didn't help him but science did? Got it 👍

He still talks about God. When the bible is about the flesh and blood elohim, not a spiritual God. He talks shit 24/7 Why do people think he is cool? Anyway, this is the truth. Paul is a great Aussie Christian minister for 35 years. Mauro is spot on,

He looks pretty happy to have avoided eternal life in paradise.

He looks pretty happy to avoided paradise.

Oh great yep that was so high on list of worries..... NOT

What did the pope say to the six year old boy at the football? 'want to feel my balls?'

Love that guy.

Good for him.
