Pope Leo XIV to have surgery on a lung nodule
Pope Leo XIV said he will undergo an operation to remove a small nodule on his lung in the coming days, according to Global News, CBC, CTV News, CNN and Radio-Canada. The Vatican confirmed it. We did not see the date, the hospital or any detail about the diagnosis.
The health of the head of the Catholic Church affects his schedule and, for Canadians in the large Catholic community, upcoming events.
Nothing changes for most readers; follow the Vatican's updates.
Wait for the Vatican's own bulletin on the diagnosis before drawing conclusions.
