JAKARTA - Pope Francis suffered an injury to his right arm after falling at his residence on Thursday. The Pope certainly did not suffer a broken bone and continued his agenda.
Photographs from the Pope's meeting on Thursday, January 16, morning showed Pope Francis wearing a simple braid wrapped around his neck to lift his right arm.
The injury was the Pope's second injury in about six weeks, which had bruises on his face in the previous fall in December.
"This morning, as a result of falling at Santa Marta's house, Pope Francis suffered bruises on his right lower arm, without fractures," the Vatican said in a statement.
The Pope, who has led the 1.4 billion Catholic Church since 2013, was 88 in December and often used sticks or wheelchairs to move due to knee and back pain.
The previous whale also fell because he slipped while waking up from the bed and his chin hit the side table of his bed, the Vatican said last month.
The Pope has also experienced influenza and related issues several times in the last two years.
He underwent surgery in 2021 to address the so-called diverticularitis, and again in 2023 to improve hisnia.

Last week, an aide read an important speech in front of a diplomat on behalf of Pope Francis who was suffering from the impact of the flu.
However, in his autobiography published on Tuesday, Pope Francis 'emphasized' concerns about his health and ruled out his resignation, as his predecessor Benedict XVI did.
"I'm fine," he said. The church is regulated by using the head and heart, not the feet," added Pope Francis.
