Pope Francis Injures Arm in Fall

News summary

Pope Francis suffered a minor injury to his right forearm after a fall at his residence, marking the second such incident within a month. The Vatican confirmed that he sustained a contusion but no fractures, and his arm was placed in a sling as a precaution. Despite the injury, the 88-year-old pontiff continued with his scheduled appointments. This follows a previous fall in December that resulted in a bruise on his chin. Francis, who has been dealing with various health issues and often uses a cane or wheelchair, has publicly dismissed rumors about his health and potential resignation. In his recently released autobiography, he reiterated his commitment to his duties, stating he has no plans to step down from the papacy.
