On March 13, 2013, Francis appeared on the balcony of the façade of St. Peter's Basilica.
11 years later, he appeared like this in St. Peter's Square. Walking with difficulty…
With leg pain…
with a cold…
and while coughing.
In fact, he did not read his speech for the General Audience.
POPE FRANCIS
I still have a bit of a cold, so I asked the Monsignor to read the catechesis.
Pope Francis is now 87 years old and seems to be more sensitive to temperature changes. At the end of November, he caught a cold, as well as at the end of February. Since then, he has cancelled some audiences and does not read all of his speeches.
However, he appears to be in good spirits and continues with his daily tasks. He has not stopped holding meetings or gatherings and, above all, he has continued to display his closeness to the faithful.
