Pope Leo XIV to have surgery for a small growth on his lung
Pope Leo XIV said he will undergo surgery for a small growth on his lung (Reuters, SABC News). One outlet said the operation will take place this week. DailyDrop has not seen a medical statement from the Vatican.
The health of the head of the Catholic Church is closely followed.
No direct effect, but a large Catholic community in southern Africa will be watching.
Wait for the Vatican's own bulletin.
