Pope Leo XIV is set to be hospitalized on Tuesday for surgery to remove a nodule from his lung, as announced by the Vatican. The procedure, taking place at Gemelli Hospital in Rome, follows the discovery of the lung nodule at a very early stage. Medical experts, including a lung specialist from the hospital, have indicated that the risks associated with the surgery are low. In light of the upcoming operation, Pope Leo has canceled his public appearances, including the presentation of the Villanova sustainability medal. Many bishops, clergy, and faithful are offering their prayers and support as the Pope prepares for the procedure.
