Pope Francis, 86, canceled his appointments Friday morning due to a feverish state. Announcement by the Vatican comes two months after the pope was hospitalized in Rome for pneumonia, from which he emerged after three days after a course of antibiotics.
The pope usually receives his interlocutors, associations, religious, heads of state, in the morning at the Vatican for official audiences. He regularly delivers speeches, while his afternoons are devoted to work and private appointments. Despite his advanced age, the head of the Catholic Church maintains a steady pace in his appointments.
