Pope Francis to be discharged from hospital after respiratory illness.

Pope Francis will be discharged from the hospital on Saturday after being hospitalized for respiratory problems and diagnosed with bronchitis. He spent time with children in the hospital's pediatric oncology ward and is slated to return to the Vatican following his latest medical tests. Due to a chronic knee problem, the pope had already stopped celebrating mass during major Catholic holy days but attended the ceremonies and delivered homilies. He will be present for Palm Sunday ceremonies and Easter week's intense liturgical calendar.
