		</div><p>Pope Francis has again cancelled his daily meetings because of acute knee pain that has greatly curtailed his mobility in recent months.</p>
<p>The Vatican said in a statement that Francis’s doctors had recommended he interrupt his planned activities, which included a meeting of his cabinet of cardinal advisers who meet every three months at the Vatican.</p>
<p>Francis last Friday cleared his schedule for medical checks, the results of which have not been released.</p>
<p>The 85-year-old has said he strained the ligaments in his right knee, making walking, standing and getting up from his chair increasingly difficult and painful.</p>
<p>Francis has long had a pronounced limp due to sciatica nerve pain, but the knee pain has aggravated it.</p>
<p>He has had to bow out of celebrating several recent liturgical events, including the Easter Vigil and a Mass last Sunday.</p>
<p>The pope now frequently walks with a shuffle and the assistance of an aide.</p>
<p>He has a packed travel schedule coming up, including reported trips to Lebanon in June, Congo, South Sudan and Canada in July and Kazakhstan in September.</p>
