Pope Leo XIV has returned to the Vatican after undergoing surgery to remove a lung tumor. He is making his first public appearance at St. Peter’s Square on Sunday, just a day after being released from the hospital. The 71-year-old pontiff had the lower lobe of his right lung removed, confirming he had adenocarcinoma. His surgeon stated there are no clinical reasons to prevent his upcoming trip to South America. American tourists expressed their joy at his quick recovery and presence. Doctors are conducting further tests to determine if additional treatment is needed.
