I worry about him, and more than a little bit. But I'm that way. I worry about stuff.

Pope Francis cancelled his morning audiences Friday because of a cold, the first time the industrious pope is known to have slowed his busy schedule due to illness.
The Vatican said the 76-year-old pontiff, who lost most of one of his lungs due to an infection in his youth, took the morning off to rest at his Vatican hotel. He kept his afternoon appointment, however, presiding over the ordination of a new bishop in St. Peter's Basilica.
Though he looked a bit bleary, Francis celebrated the mass with his typical prayerful demeanour, delivering his homily in a clear voice, standing at the lectern and even ad-libbing to offer personal reflections to the new bishop.
This too shall pass, as it is said, but His Holiness Pope Francis I just ascended the throne of Saint Peter, and he hasn't been just sitting in it. In his short time as pontiff he has already taken on much, and has shown promise for much more. I think few will argue that if he continues on the same way he's been going, and goes further with concrete action, that it could prove to be a very good thing for all of us.
I think he was playing it safe here, it sounds that way. He needs to keep that up and take it easy. He strikes me as a man who will try to push it.
Dude, please don't.
