Pope Francis added fuel to rumors
Pope Francis arrives on a wheelchair for an audience with children in the San Damaso courtyard at the Vatican Saturday, June 4, 2022. Pope Francis added fuel to rumors about the future of his pontificate Saturday by announcing he would visit the central Italian city of L'Aquila in August for a feast initiated by Pope Celestine V, one of the few pontiffs who resigned before Pope Benedict XVI stepped down in 2013.
Pope Francis is helped by aide Monsignor Leonardo Sapienza, left, as he walks with a cane to his weekly general audience in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican June 1, 2022. No pope has traveled to L’Aquila since to close out the annual feast, which celebrates the sacrament of forgiveness so dear to Francis, noted the current archbishop of L’Aquila, Cardinal Giuseppe Petrocchi.
