"Pope Francis Hospitalized for Flu Symptoms, Undergoes Diagnostic Tests"

Pope Francis was briefly hospitalized in Rome after suffering from flu symptoms, but has since returned to the Vatican. The 86-year-old pontiff had canceled appearances due to his illness and has had previous health issues, including a recent surgery to remove part of his colon. This hospitalization comes after his approval of Catholic priests offering blessings to same-sex couples, a decision that was clarified by the Vatican as not an approval of same-sex marriage.
