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.
