Pope Francis' trip to Africa next month has been cancelled because of the 85-year-old pontiff's knee ailment, the Vatican said on Friday, raising questions about his ability to walk during the rest of his papacy.
The decision to scrap the July 2-7 trip to Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan was taken "with regret" at request of the pope's doctors, who have been treating him for a torn ligament in his knee.
