Pope Francis has fallen over and injured his right arm but did not suffer any broken bones, the Vatican says. In a statement, the Holy See press office said that due to a fall Thursday morning in the Casa Santa Marta, the pope’s residence, the 88-year-old pontiff “suffered a contusion to his right forearm, without fracture.”

Francis spent much of the past decade in relatively good health but has dealt with several painful medical conditions over the last few years.

Pope Francis didn’t break his arm, but a sling was put on as a precaution, the Vatican spokesman said in a statement.
