The pope, who is suffering from knee problems, is canceling the trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan that was scheduled for July 2-7. It is still unclear whether further visits by the pope will have to be cancelled.
“At the request of his doctors and in order not to jeopardize the results of the therapy he is undergoing for his knee, the Holy Father is forced to postpone his apostolic trip to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan until a later date, the Vatican announced.
Pope Francis has been in office for nearly ten years. It is still unclear whether further trips by the Pope will have to be cancelled. Pope Francis plans to visit Canada from July 24 to 30. In September he will travel to Kazakhstan. There were also rumors of being fired due to the ongoing knee problems.
But these were based on false information from countries like the US, where there is strong opposition to Francis, said Cardinal Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras. He is one of the closest confidants of the head of the Church from Argentina.
