Pope Francis on Wednesday said he was
unable to read his remarks for a general audience due to
bronchitis.
Asking an aid to read the text, the 88-year-old pontiff said
"with my bronchitis I can't" read.
"I hope next time I can", he added, addressing worshippers at
the Vatican's Paul VI Audience Hall.
On Tuesday evening, the pope made a video appearance on the
opening night of Italy's popular Sanremo song festival, hailing
music as a "tool of peace", and "a language that all populations
speak to reach everybody's hearts".
