Pope Francis tours St Peter’s Square in his ‘popemobile’
Pope Francis emerged from his convalescence on Easter Sunday to bless the thousands of people in St Peter's Square and treat them to a surprise popemobile romp through the piazza, drawing wild cheers and applause as he continues his recovery from a near-fatal bout of double pneumonia. He stopped occasionally to bless babies brought up to him, a scene that was common in the past but unthinkable just a few weeks ago as the 88-year-old Francis fought for his life.
US Vice President J D Vance met briefly with Pope Francis on Sunday to exchange Easter greetings, after they got into a long-distance tangle over the Trump administration's migrant deportation plans. The Vatican said Vance's motorcade was on Vatican territory for 17 minutes.
