During this week’s Sunday Angelus, marking the end of the liturgical year and the observance of the Solemnity of Christ the King, Pope Francis spoke not from the window of the Apostolic Palace but via livestream from the chapel of his residence Casa Santa Marta.
On Saturday morning the Holy See Press Office announced that the Holy Father had canceled all of his appointments due to a “mild” flu.
