Pope Francis takes a scary tumble in St. Peter's Square - Is he working too hard for his health?

A large audience, anxiously awaiting Pope Francis' arrival to St. Peter's Square on Saturday, was shocked to see the pontiff trip and fall on the steps of the plaza.

LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - The 78-year-old pope was seemingly unfazed by his second fall in three days, as he stopped the fall with his hands and was helped up by two security guards.

In his last two years as pope, Pope Francis has been very active and has not shown any signs of stopping. He has many trips planned in the coming year, including one to Kenya at the end of November.

However, Pope Francis ends every weekly Angelus address asking all to pray for him and rumors surrounding the status of his health have circulated all over the world, with many followers gravely concerned the pope may have a brain tumor. Nonetheless, the Vatican has denied all accusations of the pope having a brain tumor and has assured us that our beloved Pope Francis is doing well.
