Pope Francis Attends Event in wheelchair

Pope Francis used a wheelchair in public on Thursday for the first time since a new flare-up of pain in his knee has limited his ability to walk.

Reuters reports that Pope Francis was wheeled to his seat on the stage at an audience for a group of nuns,.

Since the latest flare up the past 2 months, he had been able to walk some 10 metres (yards) from the side entrance of the stage to his seat at the centre, albeit with help from aides.
