The only exception was on All Souls' Day, when he presided with the master of ceremonies.
"We are not talking about a man who has such serious health problems that he cannot preside at a Eucharist," 'Specola' notes.
Francis is able to stand: "He stands when he wants to and does so in Santa Marta as elsewhere."
'Specola' writes that for the life of a priest, the Eucharist is "the most important event of the day" and that "there cannot be a day without the priest celebrating and offering the sacrifice of the Mass for himself and for his people".
"What example does Francis set for all priests?" he adds: "If there are real conditions that prevent him from presiding, at least explain them to the faithful and make sure they understand this aspect, which otherwise risks becoming a real scandal".
