Pope Francis made an unscheduled stop at a clinic this morning to visit and pray for comatose Cardinal Franciszek Macharski, the-89-year-old former Archbishop of Krakow.
Cardinal Marcharski had replaced Cardinal Karol Wojtyla in the post after the latter was elected the world's first Polish pontiff in 1978.
Bad weather had prompted a last-minute change to the Pope's travel plans. He had been expected to fly by military helicopter to the Jasna Gora monastery and shrine at Czestochowa but opted to take a car instead.
