Pope postpones official audiences but working from residence- Vatican

VATICAN CITY, Feb 28 (Reuters) - Pope Francis, who the
Vatican says is still "slightly unwell," has postponed all
official audiences for Friday but is working from home.
The Vatican did not specify what the pope was suffering
from. At his general audience on Wednesday he appeared to have a
cold and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, and he coughed
during an afternoon Ash Wednesday service in a Rome church.
Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said the 83-year-old pope had
said early morning Mass as customary in the chapel of the guest
house and greeted those who attended.
"But he thought it was best to postpone today's official
audiences. The meetings scheduled to take place in Santa Marta
will take place regularly," Bruni said, referring to the guest
house where he lives.
Bruni said the pope was "slightly unwell".
The pope was to have received executives from Microsoft, IBM
and other technology companies and make a speech to them in the
Vatican that was to have been streamed to a conference in Rome
on the need for ethics in Artificial Intelligence.
The Vatican said on Thursday that the pope was suffering
from a "slight indisposition." On Thursday he cancelled a visit
to a Rome basilica, where he was due to preside at a Lenten
service with Rome priests.
