The leader of the Catholic Church will hold a series of private audiences on Saturday, the Vatican said. His agenda for the day is full. According to Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni, the pope had canceled his appointments for Friday “because of a feverish condition”.
The Vatican had not provided more specific information on the pope’s health on Friday. According to Italian news agencies, Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin referred to the pope’s many appointments. The pope was “tired” on Thursday after a “very busy day”. “And at some point, the resilience probably breaks down.”
On Sunday, Pentecost Mass is scheduled for the Pope in St. Peter’s Basilica, after which the traditional Regina Coeli prayer will be said. The Pope will meet with Italian President Sergio Mattarella on Monday.
In late March, the pope spent three nights in a hospital in Rome due to a respiratory infection. The head of the Catholic Church has been struggling with health problems for some time. Due to severe knee pain, he has been using a wheelchair again and again lately. His stay in hospital therefore caused great concern and fueled speculation about a possible resignation of the pope.
However, in an interview with Spanish-language American broadcaster Telemundo on Thursday, Francis said his health was “much better”. His knee problems would have improved. The doctors recognized his respiratory condition just in time: “If we had waited a few more hours, it would have been much more serious.” (AFP)
