Francis Can Barely Walk - Plans Ambitious Trip To Asia Pacific Region
Francis will make an Apostolic Journey to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Timor-Leste and Singapore from 2-13 September, the Vatican Press Office announced (April 12).
He will visit Jakarta from 3-6 Sept, Port Moresby and Vanimo from 6-9 Sept, Dili from 9-11 Sept and Singapore from 11-13 Sept. This is the longest trip of his pontificate. A similar itinerary was previously planned in 2020 but was postponed indefinitely due to the covid hysteria.
Francis, 87, has regular respiratory infections and needs a wheelchair. Traveling long distances in this condition seems unthinkable.
