This is the Pope's first public appearance after the operation, and for the first time in his papacy, Sunday afternoon prayer Angelus, did it from the Polyclinic University Hospital “Agostino Gemelli”, writes Anadolu.
Pope Francisco appeared on the hospital balcony in good condition. The assembled Catholic believers interrupted with applause and calls: <x0-vent Papa! ”
The pope praised and supported health care, whose services are free for patients. He criticised church circles protecting the sale of economically troubled hospitals.
He also prayed for the people of Haiti, the country which plunged into deep crisis following the recent assassination of the president.
Pope Francescu underwent a colon operation last Sunday. The Vatican has not provided further information on the operation, nor will the pope remain at the hospital.
