Pope breaks wrist in fall

Joseph Ratzinger, Pope Benedict XVI, The Vatican

It evidently required minor surgery to correct.

Being Joseph Ratzinger, though, the Pope did have his priorities about him:

A Vatican statement said the 82-year-old pope fell in his room in a nearby chalet overnight and despite the accident, celebrated Mass and had breakfast before going to the hospital.

See? Priorities.
