Pope Leo XIV has been cleared to leave the Gemelli Hospital in Rome, where he underwent surgery on October 13 for pulmonary adenocarcinoma, a form of lung cancer. Blood tests and a chest X-ray confirmed a satisfactory postoperative recovery. The 71-year-old pontiff is expected to return to the Vatican this Saturday and recite the Angelus prayer on Sunday from the window of his papal apartment. His official schedule, however, remains subject to change depending on his recovery.
