VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis, who the Vatican says is still "slightly unwell," has postponed all official audiences for Friday but is working from home.

The Vatican did not specify what the pope was suffering from. At his general audience on Wednesday he appeared to have a cold and spoke with a slightly hoarse voice, and he coughed during an afternoon Ash Wednesday service in a Rome church.
