Pope Francis has stumbled in public for the second time in three days, sparking concerns for his health.
Daily Mail reports that the 78-year-old pontiff faltered on his way up the steps during a service in the Basilica of St. John Lateran in Rome. Two church officials took the Pope by both arms and helped him to step up to an altar at the basilica.
In footage taken of the service, the pontiff can be seen approaching the steps confidently, but on the first step he falls backwards. The two officials quickly come to his aid, and when the Pope reaches the top, he places his hand over his chest.
On Saturday, November 7, Pope Francis also tripped on the steps of St Peter’s Basilica and stopped his fall by throwing his hands out in front of him. After the dramatic fall, two aides helped him back to his feet.
Last month, the Vatican officially dismissed an Italian newspaper report that the Pope was suffering from a benign brain tumour. It insisted that the pontiff was in good health apart from some leg pain due to sciatica, for which he undergoes regular therapy.
