Pope Francis is ill, the Vatican makes the immediate decision

Pope Francis has fallen ill, according to a Vatican announcement, and therefore will necessarily cancel all plans for the next few days, the Catholic Church announced.

"Due to his health, Pope Francis did not attend the service and did not meet with the faithful," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said, but gave no further details about the pope's health.

We recall that Pope Francis was hospitalized for several days due to bronchitis last March.
