The trial of a former archbishop charged with child sex offences has been adjourned after the defendant fell due hours before he was due to appear in court at the Vatican.
Jozef Wesolowski, 66, is accused of paying for sex with children in the Dominican Republic from 2008-2013.
He is being treated in intensive care for an unspecified illness.
Wesolowski is the first high-ranking Catholic to stand trial in the Vatican on sex abuse charges.
He has already been found guilty by a special church tribunal and defrocked.
