Pope's trip may be cancelled over health fears
The Vatican acknowledged for the first time today that it may have to curtail papal travel because of Pope John Paul II’s feeble condition, suggesting that planned stops in Mexico and Guatemala in July could be dropped.
Papal spokesman Joaquin Navarro-Valls told reporters the 82-year-old Pope will go to Toronto to mark the Roman Catholic Church’s World Youth Day, but suggested the other stops on the proposed 11-day trip could be cancelled.
