VATICAN CITY (Reuters) – The health of Pope Francis, who is suffering from a lung inflammation, is improving but he will read his Sunday message indoors from his residence to be on the safe side, the Vatican said on Saturday.
A statement said the 86-year-old pontiff had no fever and was continuing anti-biotic treatment.
He normally reads the message from a window of the Apostolic Palace overlooking St. Peter’s Square. He would read it indoors to “avoid exposing himself to temperature changes”, the statement said.
Francis was forced to skip a planned trip to Dubai to made an address to the U.N. climate summit. The Vatican’s number two, Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin, read it on his behalf.
