Pope Francis has suffered a fall, resulting in an arm injury for which he was given a sling as a precaution. This follows another recent fall that left him with a bruise on his chin. The 88-year-old pontiff continues to face health challenges and has had to use a wheelchair recently.
Pope Francis has suffered a fall, injuring his arm, the Vatican has confirmed. This comes just weeks after another tumble left him with a nasty bruise on his chin.
The 88 year old pontiff, who often uses a wheelchair due to ongoing health issues, sparked speculation before Christmas when he attended a church ceremony sporting a noticeable facial injury. Despite appearing slightly weary, the Pope continued with the planned ceremony at St. Peter's Basilica to appoint 21 new cardinals.
Earlier this month, the Mirror exclusively reported that King Charles is set to have an historic meeting with the Pope during his first major Royal tour of the year to Italy. Charles will have a private audience with Pope Francis during his high-profile trip to Rome in the spring, reports the Mirror.
