AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoPope’s Health: The Vatican says Pope Leo XIV has lung adenocarcinoma after surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. The 90-minute operation was successful, with no complications, and he woke normally. His cancer’s stage and whether it has spread remain unknown; he is expected to stay in hospital for about a week, with public events canceled through Oct. 20. Vatican Schedule: Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle will lead Wednesday’s Mass in St. Peter’s Square in the pope’s place. Leo’s planned November tour of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru remains uncertain. Death Penalty: In recent remarks, Leo called capital punishment “inadmissible,” as U.S. church leaders condemned a proposal to livestream a military execution.
