Pope Francis plans to visit Belgium and Luxembourg this week despite canceling Monday’s audiences due to a “slight flu-like state,” confirmed Vatican spokesperson Matteo Bruni. The 87-year-old pope, who uses a wheelchair and has faced numerous health issues, will visit Luxembourg on Thursday and spend the rest of the week in Belgium, concluding with a Mass in Brussels on Sunday. The trip includes celebrating the 600th anniversary of Belgium’s main Catholic universities and addressing clergy sexual abuse issues.
