The health of globalist Pope Francis remains a cause for concern in the Vatican, where he has been suffering for weeks from a “mild flu” that he cannot seem to shake.
Today, the once again ill Francis was still “suffering from a cold” as he once again restricted himself to speaking to a weekly audience in St. Peter's Square, allowing one of his aides to read his prepared text.
But it is not surprising that the Argentine pope has always had enough energy when it comes to appointments of a political nature – as was the case when he met the deeply unpopular German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Saturday.
Reuters reported:
He added that the 87-year-old man's health had been a problem over the past two weeks, forcing him to cancel some engagements and avoid reading some speeches.
The Vatican said on February 24 that he was suffering from FMild flu rum. Last week, Francis made a brief visit to a hospital in Rome for a CT scan, and on Saturday he said he had bronchitis.
Francis said [today’s] He was delegating readings “because I still have a cold and can't read well.” But he spoke briefly at the end of the event, greeting some of the faithful and calling for peace in Ukraine and the Middle East.
Francis, who has difficulty walking, arrived at St. Peter's Square in his specially designed car known as the Popemobile.
He arrived at his seat walking with a cane, and after the audience he was placed in a wheelchair to greet people.
When he tried to get back into the Pope's car, he was unable to do so and had to be helped back into the wheelchair to exit St. Peter's Square.

He may be too weak to climb a single flight of stairs, but he plans to make several official visits!
“Francis’s mobility difficulties may complicate this year’s travel plans, which include trips on unspecified dates to Belgium, East Timor, Papua New Guinea and Indonesia. He is scheduled to travel within Italy to Venice on April 28 and Verona on May 18.
