Vatican City, Feb 25 (IANS/AKI) Pope Francis' audiences were cancelled on Thursday as he has a temperature and is slightly unwell, Vatican spokesman Federico Lombardi said.

"He has a slight fever and is a bit under the weather. It's nothing serious," Lombardi said.

"Indeed this morning, he celebrated mass at Santa Marta (the guesthouse for priests, where Francis lives).

"He is resting and usually recovers quite quickly. However, we'll see," he added.
