Pope Leo XIV Returns to Public Duties After Lung Cancer Surgery

Pope Leo XIV appeared in St. Peter's Square on Sunday, October 18, to thank the faithful after being discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital. The 71-year-old pontiff underwent surgery on Tuesday to remove a malignant lung tumor, a condition discovered incidentally during a routine checkup. Doctors described his recovery as smooth, noting he resumed some administrative tasks and even arranged chairs in a hospital chapel before his release. The Vatican confirmed he will gradually resume his full schedule, including a planned trip to South America in November.

"Pope Francis' Unconventional Palm Sunday Amidst Vatican Security Concerns"

Pope Francis led the Palm Sunday Mass at St. Peter’s Square, emphasizing Jesus' humble entry into Jerusalem as a peaceful king. He chose not to read the prepared homily and arrived at the Mass in a wheelchair, but did read the prayers and offered a peace appeal for Ukraine and the victims of a terrorist attack in Moscow. The Mass was attended by an estimated 60,000 people, and the pope has a busy schedule for Holy Week, including presiding over various liturgies and devotions leading up to Easter Sunday.
