TL;DR Summary

Pope Francis has postponed several meetings due to lung inflammation and breathing difficulties, according to the Vatican. A CT scan ruled out pneumonia, but doctors inserted a cannula to provide antibiotics. The pope, who lost part of a lung 50 years ago, has battled ill health for years and has previously canceled engagements and appeared in public in a wheelchair. While his condition is said to be improving, he appeared short of breath and in poor health during a Sunday message. Some important engagements have been postponed, while others of an administrative nature will be fulfilled.
