Pope preaches in public after breaking wrist

Pope Benedict XVI preached and greeted well-wishers Sunday, three days after breaking his wrist in a fall. He held the text of his speech in his uninjured left hand, then circulated among the crowd who came to hear him in Romano Canavese, pictures from the northern Italian town showed. The 82-year-old pope had surgery on his right wrist after he fell Thursday night, spokesman Father Federico Lombardi told CNN on Friday
