Feeling 'caged' by coronavirus alarm, pope delivers Sunday address over internet
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Saying he felt “caged,” Pope Francis delivered his Sunday blessing over the internet from inside the Vatican on Sunday instead of from a window to stop crowds gathering during Italy’s coronavirus outbreak.
He did, however, go to the window and wave silently to a mere several hundred people in the huge square, which often draws tens of thousands. Most kept a safe distance from each other as they watched the pope deliver the address on four mega-screens.
“It’s a bit strange this Angelus prayer today with the pope caged in the library, but I see you and I am close to you,” he said.
