Pope Francis was a no-show at an event in Rome on Thursday because of a 'slight indisposition', Vatican said
83-year-old didn't want to travel across the city while poorly but will perform other duties, officials insisted
It comes a day after he kissed faces in St Peter's Square, and just hours after he coughed and sneezed at Mass

Pope Francis has been forced to cancel a planned Mass in Rome with other clergy after suffering a 'slight illness'.

The Vatican said the 83-year-old pontiff had a 'slight indisposition' that meant he did not attend an event at the St John Lateran basilica in Rome on Thursday morning.

A spokesman said Francis would continue with the rest of his day's business, but preferred to stay within the Vatican rather than travel across the city.

There was no word from the Vatican about the nature of his illness, but the pope was seen coughing and blowing his nose during the Ash Wednesday Mass.
