Pope Francis held the general audience on Wednesday, March 6, in St. Peter’s Square, and not inside the Paul VI hall, despite the cold morning in Rome, and again He did not read the catechism that he had prepared, but rather a collaborator did because he stated that he still had a cold.
For more than a week, Francis has been suffering from a cold that has made him cancel some events and for which last Wednesday, February 28, after the general audience, he went to the Gemelli hospital on the Tiber Island, in the center of Rome, to some tests.
Although the pontiff normally resumed his agenda, He has not read his speeches because he stated that he gets tired when he has to do so, although he does pronounce his appeals.
At the end of November 2023, The pope suffered bronchitis for which he had to cancel some of the acts and celebrate the angelus in private and also be replaced by a collaborator to read his speeches.
To allow his recovery, the Argentine pontiff canceled the trip planned at the beginning of December to Dubai to participate in the Climate Summit.
But later he recovered completely and even on December 8 of that year he went to the Plaza de España to the traditional tribute to the Virgin of the Immaculate Conception.
