"Pope Francis' Health Concerns Grow as Mobility Issues Persist"

Pope Francis continues to struggle with lingering respiratory and mobility problems, as he asked an aide to read his remarks during his weekly general audience and was unable to board his popemobile without assistance. The 87-year-old pontiff has been dealing with a cold, bronchitis, flu, knee fracture, and inflammation of ligaments, which have led to his increased use of a wheelchair. Despite these challenges, he greeted the crowd before being wheeled out of the piazza, highlighting his determination to continue his duties despite his health issues.
