Francis Appeared In Wheelchair

Francis appeared on May 5 in a wheelchair. He was pushed to the stage of Paul VI audience hall to meet the assembly of the International Union of Superiors General. An aide helped him out of the wheelchair onto his seat.

According to Vatican press speaker Matteo Bruni, he has been using the wheelchair for non-public movements in recent days.

Francis has great difficulties to walk and has evidently been in pain for months. It was demonstrably worse at the May 4 general audience (video below).
