Pope Francis, 86, canceled his appointments Friday morning due to a feverish state. Announcement comes two months after the pope's hospitalization for three days in Rome at the end of March due to pneumonia.

Despite his advanced age, the head of the Catholic Church maintains a steady rhythm in his appointments. The Pope usually receives his interlocutors - associations, religious, heads of state - in the morning at the Vatican for official audiences, while his afternoons are dedicated to work and private appointments.
