The Vatican announced that Pope Francis is suffering from 'acute gonalgia,' the medical term for intense knee pain.<\/p>\n
The Pope's doctor has ordered him to rest his knee, meaning that he will not travel to Florence on Sunday to close a summit between Mediterranean bishops and mayors as originally planned.<\/p>\n
Nor will he preside at the Ash Wednesday Mass on March 2.<\/p>\n
Pope Francis has had this problem for some time. At the end of January, he shared that he was suffering problems in his knee during a general audience. <\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS Since then, he has not always walked to greet people as usual, but has had them approach him instead.<\/p>\n The Vatican also published the complete program for Pope Francis' coming trip to Malta in April, a sign that he is expected to recover by then.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n JRB<\/p>\n TR: JM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" February 25, 2022.
