Pope Francis Returns to Vatican After Battling Severe Pneumonia

Pope Francis has been discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital following a life-threatening bout of pneumonia. The 88-year-old pontiff, who has a history of chronic lung issues, spent 38 days in the hospital—the longest stay of his papacy.
