The Vatican says Pope Francis is making a strong recovery following his 3 hour surgery last week. Doctors have asked the Holy Father not to deliver his Sunday address to pilgrims. The medical personnel were concerned it would be too much strain on Pope Francis to deliver his Sunday remarks from the hospital balcony. Overall, he is eating regularly, continues to do work and early Monday took Holy Communion. EWTN Vatican Bureau Chief, Andreas Thonhauser, joins to tell us more about Pope Francis and how he is recovering. Thonhauser shares how things at the Vatican are without Pope Francis and when he is expected to be released from the hospital. Sunday was the celebration of the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. With Pope Francis gone, Thonhauser discusses whether there was a procession with the Eucharist.
