Fox News
Pope Francis is set to be heading to Dubai for a climate conference this week, despite suffering from lung inflammation. The pontiff received a CT scan Saturday.
"Brothers and sisters, happy Sunday. Today I cannot appear at the window because I have this problem of inflammation of the lungs,'' Francis, who turns 87 next month, said. He added that a priest sitting beside him would read out his day's reflections for him.
Francis is set to deliver a speech in the United Arab Emirates for the COP28 gathering on climate change Saturday. He described the global issue as a "serious problem, especially for young people," and thanked those who would be following his three-day trip with prayers.
