Pope Leo to hold Wednesday audience for first time since cancer surgery
The Holy See said the 71-year-old pontiff is slowly resuming duties after a five-day hospital stay and lung surgery.
- Pope Leo will hold a general audience at the Vatican on Wednesday, marking his first such event since undergoing surgery for lung cancer on October 13.
- The 71-year-old pontiff underwent an operation on October 13 to remove the lower lobe of his right lung, fueling speculation about how his illness might change his 17-month papacy.
- On October 18, Leo led the Angelus prayer from the Apostolic Palace, his first public appearance since surgery, where he said his hospitalization "has made me feel especially close to those facing illness and infirmity."
- Leo pledged to resume activities as leader of 1.4 billion Catholics, though the Vatican has not confirmed whether his scheduled trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru will proceed as planned.
- The Vatican has provided no indication of the pontiff's schedule beyond Wednesday as surgeons assess whether his recovery will permit the November international travel and full resumption of papal duties.
