🔶 Pope Leo XIV to undergo lung surgery

Pope Leo XIV, leader of Catholics around the world, announced during Sunday prayer ceremonies at the Vatican that he will undergo surgery in the coming days due to the diagnosis of a mass in his lung. Further details about the type of this mass have not been released.

On Sunday, October 11, during the weekly Angelus prayer at St. Peter’s Square in the Vatican, Pope Leo XIV, in a personal and unexpected message to thousands of pilgrims present, said: “Doctors have identified a mass in my lung that is in its early stages and completely localized. The doctors have deemed it appropriate to perform surgery, and I too, following their recommendation, have decided to have it removed under surgery.”
