Pope Francis, 86, experienced a minor fall at the Vatican’s Santa Marta hotel earlier this week, leading to medical attention. While he suffered a contusion to his right forearm, there was no fracture. His arm was immobilized as a precaution, but he continued his duties, including meeting the head of the UN Fund for Agricultural Development, Alvaro Lario, using his left hand. This incident follows recent health struggles, including a previous fall in December. Despite these challenges, Pope Francis has no plans to resign, emphasizing his commitment to the papacy. Recently, he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by U.S. President Joe Biden. The global Catholic community continues to offer prayers and support for his recovery as he remains dedicated to his mission.
