Description
Pope Francis presides over his weekly audience but asks an aide to deliver his reading for him. "Even today, I asked Monsignor Campanelli for help with the reading because I still struggle. I feel much better, but I’m still struggling when I speak too much," the 86-year-old pontiff tells the crowd assembled for his weekly audience in the Paul VI hall in the Vatican. The Argentine pontiff is recovering from a lung infection that has caused him difficulty breathing, forcing him to cancel his trip to the UN climate summit being hosted by the oil-rich United Arab Emirates.
