This time around, Francis insisted on finishing his morning audiences Friday before leaving the Vatican, even though he was having trouble speaking at length because he was short of breath.<\/p>\n<p> The Holy See has only confirmed canceled appointments through Monday. Francis was supposed to have gone to Rome&#8217;s Cinecitta film studios to meet with artists as part of the Catholic Church&#8217;s Holy Year celebrations.<\/p>\n<p> While his private audiences are rarely announced with much advance notice, the pope&#8217;s next scheduled appointment is his weekly general audience Wednesday. Beyond that, he is scheduled to preside on Sunday at the ordination of deacons as part of a Holy Year weekend dedicated to deacons. Francis&#8217; participation in both appears in doubt, but they remain on the official Vatican schedule.<\/p>\n<p> When he missed the Jubilee Mass dedicated to artists this past Sunday, a cardinal stood in for him.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation \"\/><!-- tags --><\/div>\n<p><script async
