Ailing Pope does not deliver talk; Vatican reports ‘a bit of a cold’ (Aleteia)

Pope Francis did not deliver a scheduled talk to a meeting with the Conference of European Rabbis on November 6, explaining that he was not feeling well.

The Vatican said that the Pontiff was suffering from “a bit of a cold.” The Pope continued with his regular schedule for the remainder of the day.

In his prepared remarks the Pontiff said: “Not weapons, not terrorism, not war, but compassion, justice and dialogue are the fitting means for building peace.”
