Pope Francis' knee pain was so bad on the way to Bahrain on Thursday that he was unable to walk around the papal plane greeting accompanying reporters as he usually does. "Today I have a lot of pain and I am not up to moving around the plane so I'll sit down and you come to me," Francis told reporters during the flight to Bahrain for a four-day trip. Despite the pain Francis appeared in good spirits as journalists greeted him individually at the front of the plane.
