Pope Francis 'Defies Doctors' to Bless Crowds at Vatican | First Appearance Since near-death Battle
In a powerful and emotional moment, 88-year-old Pope Francis made his first public appearance since battling a life-threatening case of pneumonia.
Just two weeks after being discharged from Gemelli Hospital, the pontiff surprised thousands as he was wheeled through Saint Peter’s Square following a special mass dedicated to the sick.
Despite doctors advising strict rest, Pope Francis chose to connect with the faithful, delivering a fragile yet moving message just ahead of Easter.
Witness the resilience, faith, and spirit of a leader who refuses to stay silent in the face of adversity.

Pope Leo XIV, formerly Robert Prevost, has sparked waves with his limited but telling 2025 social media posts. Before his election, he subtly criticized Vice President JD Vance, reposted content calling out Donald Trump's stance on immigration, and expressed support for Pope Francis' health. His posts reflect a compassionate stance on immigration, Dreamers, gun reform, and climate action-drawing cheers from liberals and concern from right-wing commentators. Though not prolific online, these posts provide a glimpse into the political leanings of the first American pope and what his leadership could signal for the global Church.

Putin has launched a scathing attack on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, accusing him of violating the proposed Easter ceasefire nearly 4,900 times within 48 hours. According to Russian officials, over 90 drone strikes and the use of U.S.-supplied HIMARS rockets were reported in just 30 hours. Moscow claims Zelensky deliberately shattered the truce, treating Easter as a “signal for war.” The Kremlin also accused Kyiv of following Western orders to sabotage peace talks and prolong the conflict. The tension mounts as Trump also expresses growing frustration with Zelensky's peace approach.

Russia launched deadly airstrikes across Ukraine just hours after ending its unilateral Easter ceasefire. Odesa was hit by a massive overnight drone attack, striking residential buildings, schools, and critical infrastructure. In Zaporizhzhia, Soviet-era glide bombs killed one woman and injured 22 civilians, including children. Ukraine reports over 2,900 ceasefire violations in just days. As Moscow escalates with 54 Shaheed drones in one night, tensions rise ahead of high-stakes talks between Kyiv, Washington, London, and Paris. Zelenskyy slams the ceasefire as a “sham” masking continued aggression.

At the White House Easter Egg Roll, U.S. President Donald Trump took a light-hearted jab at President Joe Biden, referencing the viral 2022 moment when a staffer in an Easter Bunny costume interrupted Biden mid-sentence. While addressing the crowd, Trump praised Pope Francis for his recent Easter message, combining solemnity with satire. The crowd responded with laughter as Trump said, “At least this year, no bunny is jumping in to save the moment.” The playful remark has since gained traction online, sparking both amusement and debate.
