YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPope Francis was discharged from Rome's Gemelli hospital Sunday, five weeks after he was admitted for a case of bronchitis and later suffered other medical complications, including pneumonia in both lungs.
Appearing weak but in good spirits, the pope briefly greeted hundreds of faithful from a hospital balcony Sunday morning before leaving the facility, in his first public appearance since going in for treatment in mid-February.
"I see a woman with yellow flowers. Brava!" he said, his voice subdued. The 88-year-old then gave the crowd a thumbs up and made the sign of the cross before being wheeled back into his room.
The crowd erupted in chants of "Viva il papa!" and "Papa Francesco," celebrating his remarkable recovery after an illness that left him hospitalized for weeks.
