Pope is struggling with the flu: ‘I’m not feeling well yet’

class=”sc-cffd1e67-0 fmXrkB”>

According to the Vatican, the head of the Catholic Church has been suffering from the flu since last weekend. The Pope had to cancel a planned trip to the World Climate Conference in the Arab Emirate of Dubai on the advice of his doctors. Francis will celebrate his 87th birthday next month.

During the audience, the native Argentinian had the text he normally reads read by another priest. Meanwhile he was wrong. Due to his knee problem he used a walking stick.

Francis’ health has been a source of increasing concern for some time now. This year he has already been treated twice in a clinic: first for pneumonia, then he underwent open abdominal surgery under general anesthesia. According to the Vatican, the new infection is not another pneumonia.

The Pope actually wanted to fly to Dubai for three days on Friday for the World Climate Summit, as the first head of the Catholic Church in the history of climate conferences. Francis may now be connected via video to give a speech on Saturday. However, the exact plans are not yet known. (SDA)
