The audience of Pope Francis (87) planned for Monday was canceled due to a mild flu.
The cancellation of the appointments is a “precautionary measure” regarding the Pope’s trip to Luxembourg and Belgium from Thursday to Sunday (September 26 to 29).
Pope has just returned from a long trip
The 87-year-old Francis undertook his longest but probably most comfortable trip on September 2 (see video above). The 12-day trip took him to Asia and the Pacific region. The head of the Catholic Church visited Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore.
Hundreds of thousands of Catholics lined the streets of the city to greet the Pope. The countries, some of which were extremely poor, spent enormous sums of money to provide or guarantee the Pope’s reception and security, tearing even deeper holes in their state coffers. Visits that you could not really afford.
Poor people moved, housing demolished
According to human rights groups, makeshift shelters for the homeless were demolished and poor people were moved so as not to “disrupt” the church leader’s processions by making them appear sad.
