Pope still not well enough to read lesson at audience

(ANSA) - ROME, MAR 6 - Pope Francis said he was still not well enough to read out his lesson during his weekly general audience in St Peter's Square on Wednesday after suffering flu-like symptoms for over a week and a half.
    The Argentine pontiff had had an aide read out his address as he has at several recent audiences due to the illness.
    "Dear brothers and sisters, I still have a cold and I cannot read out the catechesis well," the pope said.
    "My aide will read it".
    Despite not reading the lesson, the pope appeared in good form and did a few laps of the square in an open-top Jeep with some children. (ANSA).
