Pope Francis went to the hospital Tuesday for tests and returned back to the Vatican, witnesses and news reports said, two months after he was hospitalized with an acute case of bronchitis.
The ANSA news agency said Francis went to Rome's Gemelli hospital Tuesday morning for tests. Witnesses at the Vatican's Perugino gate, one of the main entrances to the city state, told The Associated Press Francis returned to the Vatican a short while later, and greeted guards as he usually does.
