ROME – Ending a brief stay to treat what the Vatican described as a bout of bronchitis, Pope Francis left Rome’s Gemelli Hospital Saturday morning at roughly 10:30 a.m. local time to return to his residence at the Domus Santa Marta on Vatican grounds.

The Vatican had announced Friday that the 86-year-old pontiff would be discharged this morning, following favorable results from medical tests.

Prior to leaving the hospital, Francis paused for roughly 10 minutes outside the main entrance to the hospital to speak with reporters, as well as to sign the cast of a young boy with an arm injury and to hug and console a young couple who had lost their child the night before.

Francis was admitted to the Gemelli Wednesday night, for what the Vatican described at the time as “previously planned check-ups.” Later, however, it was reported that the pope had experienced difficulty breathing and was diagnosed with bronchitis, an inflammation of the tubes which carry air to and from the lungs, usually caused by an infection.

Would have been better if the queer heretic left the hospital feet first.

ANTI-pope. Not, NOT the Pope. This POS should stay away.

I wonder if post hospital Pope will look like pre hospital Pope. Much like post hospital fetterman compared to pre.

I suspect Pope is dead.

Well, like Fetterman, the post-hospital Pope now has a big smile on his face (see photo), but other than that, there are no discernible differences...

(Although that one could also be the "lying, dog-faced pony soldier" later in life.)

Still no word from Francis on these stories:

Timing of Hospital visit sure is coincidinky.

Maybe he's going to try the "Dubia" tactics; refuse to answer.

Francis would be more than happy to address those two issues, but his physician-prescribed, facial-protective, medical head attire precludes him from commenting on anything, at this time.  (Check back next week.)
