Apparently Pope Frances is 77 years old and has one lung. Per video the papal office has announced that the Pope has cancelled all sunday Mass services in July and his Wednesday services. They also have cancelled any visits with world leaders. Can anyone confirm this?
How did he end up with one lung? Never heard he had health issues before this.

Pope Francis is a pioneering pontiff in many ways — he’s the first to take the name of Francis, the first pope from South America, and the first to don the papal robes with one lung.

Pope Francis Cancels Rome Hospital Visit Due to 'Indisposition' (ABC News)
Pope Francis cancelled a visit to a Rome hospital today where he was scheduled to observe Mass.
The Vatican issued a two-sentence statement in Italian saying the pontiff would be unable to visit Gemelli Hospital in Rome this afternoon "due to a sudden indisposition."
Pope Francis, 77, had been scheduled to visit the hospital from 1:30 p.m. until 4 p.m. GMT today. He was also expected to visit the Medicine Faculty at the Catholic University of the Sacred Heart, which is located at the hospital.

Cardinal Angelo Scola, archbishop of Milan, will visit the hospital in the pontiff's place, according to the Vatican. It is expected Scola will observe Mass and read the Pope's homily.
The Argentinean-born pope had part of one lung removed when he was a teenager because of an infection.
Earlier this month, he missed two days of audiences due to what the Vatican said was a stomach bug. Last week, Pope Francis skipped walking in a mile-long procession and decided to rest up for a trip to Italy.
