Vatican City, 26 October 2015 (VIS) –
Yesterday afternoon the Holy Father made a private visit to Cardinal
Roger Etchegaray, who was admitted to the Agostino Gemelli Hospital
following a fall at the end of the celebration in the Vatican
Basilica, causing a fracture of the left femur. His overall condition
is good, but he will need to undergo an operation to repair the
fracture.
The Pope spoke cordially with the
cardinal for around a quarter of an hour, and gave him his blessing.
Cardinal Etchegaray thanked Pope Francis, especially for the Synod
which has just come to a close.
