Pope Francis Discharged from Hospital

Eighty-six year-old Catholic Pontiff, Pope Francis, was on Saturday, discharged from the hospital after being admitted at the Gemelli Polyclinic on Wednesday and treated for bronchitis. 

AP reports that Francis who quipped "Still alive" to journalists before being driven away, was taken to the hospital after suffering a bout of breathing difficulties. His itinerary was subsequently canceled. 

The Vatican, which disclosed he received intravenous antibiotic treatment during his stay at the hospital, has also released details of his Holy Week schedule apparently indicative that he has returned to full health. 

Among others, Pope Francis would be superintending the Palm Sunday and Easter Masses in St. Peter's Square.
