Pope scraps hospital visit at last minute - update

(ANSA) - Vatican City, June 27 - Pope Francis on Friday postponed a scheduled visit of Rome's Gemelli hospital after a half-hour delay. Vatican sources said it was because the 77-year-old Argentine pontiff "is very tired".
    The visit had been expected to last about three hours, and the papal staff and 'popemobile' were already in place for his arrival. Francis, who since a young man has lived with part of a lung missing after an infection, has recently shown signs of fatigue at his packed schedule of public engagements. In his absence on Friday, the pope's homely was pronounced by Milan Archbishop Cardinal Angelo Scola. http://popefrancisnewsapp.com/
