Pope Leo says he will gradually resume duties after cancer surgery
xCruzo Brief
Pope Leo XIV said he will gradually resume his duties after surgery to remove a malignant tumor. On Sunday, he thanked thousands of faithful in St. Peter’s Square for their prayers while recovering in hospital, and appeared in the window overlooking the square four days after the lower lobe of his right lung was removed. The operation, carried out on Tuesday at Gemelli hospital in Rome, confirmed adenocarcinoma, the most common type of lung cancer. Leo told reporters in English he was “much better” and described the past week as bringing him closer to people facing illness. The pope’s next major engagement was not specified in the report.
