Pope Leo Greets Crowds After Lung Cancer Surgery at Vatican
Pope Leo addressed crowds in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican in his first public appearance since lung cancer surgery five days earlier. The 71-year-old pontiff, who had a lobe of his right lung removed, spoke clearly from a window of the Apostolic Palace, thanking global prayers and promising to gradually resume his duties leading the 1.4-billion member Church.
