CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis stumbled, but did not fall, when the walker he was using broke as he entered the Paul VI auditorium for a public audience on Saturday.
Aides quickly helped the Pontiff regain his balance. He conducted the audience seated in a chair.
The Pope, who regularly uses a wheelchair or a walker, has suffered two falls in recent months—neither causing serious injury.
