Pope to leave hospital tonight
The Pope will leave hospital tonight, the Vatican said, declaring the 84-year-old pontiff “cured” of the illness that landed him in a Rome clinic for 10 days and rekindled questions about his ability to carry on as head of the Roman Catholic Church.
Papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls said John Paul had recovered completely from the breathing crisis that led to his urgent admittance to Rome’s Gemelli Polyclinic on February 1 and that his general condition was continuing to improve.
