[HIGHLIGHTS] The Pope cancels his participation in the Stations of the Cross at the last moment “to preserve his health”

The Pope cancels his participation in the Stations of the Cross at the last moment “to preserve his health”. “This is a simple measure of prudence,” a Vatican source told AFP.

The decision risks reviving questions about the pope's ability to continue to govern the Catholic Church, while he has always left "the door open" to a possible renunciation. On Friday afternoon, the head of the Catholic. Church presided over the celebration of the Passion of Christ in St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican as planned.
