Cardinal Egan was released from St. Vincent’s Hospital at 2:30 p.m., but no decision has been made about whether he will participate in Holy Week services at the cathedral.
According to a release, the cardinal’s stomach pains “had eased sufficiently.” He was allowed to return to his residence behind St. Patrick’s for rest and to recuperate.
No date has been set for the implant of a pacemaker.
Egan was hospitalized Saturday with a stomach ailment. Subsequent tests showed that he would need a pacemaker.

The world of religion, we don't have to tell you, is vast. The purpose of this blog is for Stern to note, flag and comment on some of the more interesting religious developments on the scene – weighty and quirky, somber and laughable, far away and just down the road. He won't interpret Scripture, take sides in conflicts or judge anyone. But he will take advantage of the journalist's license to observe.
