The Italian news agency (Ansa) reported today that Pope Francis, who is suffering from influenza, was transferred to a hospital in Rome for medical tests, but has since returned to the Vatican. The statement indicated that Pope Francis (87 years old) underwent tests at a hospital on Tiber Island after his weekly audience, without providing further details. The Pope did not deliver a sermon during Wednesday's weekly meeting with the public and delegated the task to one of his aides, informing the attendees that he was not feeling well.
