Pope Leo to enter hospital today for lung-nodule surgery
Reuters reported on Monday that the Vatican said Pope Leo will be hospitalized on Tuesday ahead of surgery. Global News and TVA Nouvelles explained that the operation is to remove a lung nodule, a small lump of tissue that is often benign. We did not see the hospital, the length of his stay or any detail about the diagnosis.
The health of the head of the Catholic Church affects his schedule and, for the large Catholic community in Canada, upcoming events.

Wait for the Vatican's own statement on the operation and the diagnosis before drawing conclusions.
