At 88, Pope Francis complained on Sunday of respiratory difficulties and asked an assistant to read his speech during the Holy Mass of the Armed Forces Jubilee, Police and Security Agents. The Pope has been experiencing some health problems in recent months, including long periods of bronchitis, which makes the pontiff difficult with longer lines.
“Now I apologize, and I ask the master of ceremonies to keep reading because of breathing difficulties,” said the Pope, putting his hand on his chest and signaling the difficulty in breathing.
Francisco lost part of his lung when he was young due to a respiratory infection, which makes the picture more complex.
In January, the Pope suffered a drop in his house and hurt his right arm. At the time, the religious had to immobilize his arm as a precaution.
Before that, the Pope had already appeared with a bruise after beating his chin on his bedside table. It has also used wheelchair to move.
In Sunday’s speech, the Pope asked the members of the Armed and Security forces “to be vigilant against the temptation to cultivate a spirit of war; Not to be contaminated by the poison of hatred advertising, which divides the world between friends to defend and enemies to fight. ”
