Ailing Pope Francis Skips Palm Sunday Homily as Health Concerns Mount
As the Holy Week gets started, it’s impossible not to notice just how frail and ailing Pope Francis has become, and also maybe ask ourselves if the time is not arrived to abdicate and let the Church find a new pontiff.
At Palm Sunday Mass in St. Peter’s Square, with 60,000 people in attendance, Pope Francis at the last minute decided to skip his homily.
Francis also didn’t take part in the procession of cardinals around the obelisk in the square at the start of the Mass.
Associated Press reported:
“Francis had been expected to deliver a homily halfway through the service and a prepared text had been distributed to journalists.
