Pope Francis Daily

Pope Francis has cancelled his audiences for today due to a mild cold. This latest news follows the Pontiff’s cancellation yesterday of appointments on his schedule.

Pope Francis did not attend a traditional penitential service with priests of the Diocese of Rome due to a mild cold, the Vatican said.

In a statement Feb. 27, Matteo Bruni, director of the Vatican press office, said that due to “a slight indisposition,” the pope preferred to remain close to the Domus Sanctae Marthae, where he lives.
