In a wide-ranging interview with Reuters, Pope Francis sought to quash resignation rumours but may have only ignited them further, and while the Holy Father condemned abortion in the aftermath of the decision to overrule Roe vs. Wade, he seemed not to quite condemn those who advocate for abortion access. The Pope first addressed having to cancel his trip to Africa, something cited as a sign of his supposedly declining health. The Pontiff said: “I will do the one to Canada because the doctor told me, ‘With 20 more days you will recover.’ But (they told me) this trip (to Africa) is a health risk.” The inference seems to be that the Pope is relatively fit, with a trip to North America pencilled in. The Pope later said “after I come back from Canada; it is possible that I manage to go to Ukraine.” He also spoke about going to Russia.
