VATICAN CITY -- Pope Benedict XVI hit his head during his March 2012 trip to Mexico, the Vatican said Thursday, but it denied the accident had any "relevant" role in his resignation.
It was the latest revelation of a hidden health issue to emerge from the Holy See since the pope's shock announcement, and adds to questions about the gravity of the pontiff's condition.
