VATICAN CITY (Reuters) -Pope Francis plans to make his first appearance in more than five weeks on Sunday, offering a blessing from the window of his room at Rome's Gemelli Hospital as he battles double pneumonia, the Vatican said.
Francis, 88, was admitted to the hospital on February 14 with a severe respiratory infection that has required evolving treatment.
