"Pope Francis Hospitalized for Diagnostic Tests After Flu Scare"
Pope Francis visited Rome's Gemelli hospital for diagnostic tests after his general audience at the Vatican, returning afterwards. The 87-year-old pope had been admitted to the hospital several times last year for bronchitis and intestinal surgery. Despite still feeling a bit of a cold, he is scheduled to meet with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and make an appearance at a noontime prayer in the coming days.
