Vatican cancels Pope Francis’ weekend engagements – statement

VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – Pope Francis will not take part in this weekend’s Holy Year events because of his continued ill health, the Vatican said on Tuesday.

The 88-year-old pontiff has been suffering from a respiratory infection for more than a week and was admitted to Rome’s Gemelli hospital on Friday.
