Pope rallies from knee pain to proclaim 10 new saints

-

ROME (AP):

Pope Francis created 10 new saints on Sunday, rallying from knee pain that has forced him to use a wheelchair to preside over the first canonisati­on ceremony at the Vatican in over two years. Francis stood for a long period at the start to greet priests concelebra­ting the Mass, presided over the nearly two-hour ceremony and then stood and walked for a good 15 minutes after it ended to greet dozens of cardinals and bishops.
