Pope Francis cancels his participation in the Stations of the Cross at the last minute. The health of the head of the Catholic Church continues to cause concern.

Jorge Bergoglio, who uses a wheelchair, has suffered a series of health problems in recent years. He also had abdominal surgery in June and canceled his trip to Dubai for COP28 in December due to bronchitis. He is due to preside over Easter mass in St. Peter's Square before giving the "Urbi et Orbi" blessing.
