Pope Leo XIV leads Angelus prayer day after hospital discharge

Pope Leo XIV, 71, led the Angelus prayer from the papal apartment window on Sunday, a day after leaving Gemelli Hospital following surgery that removed the lower lobe of his right lung and confirmed lung adenocarcinoma. In his first public appearance since the operation, he said, "This experience has made me feel a special closeness to all those who are battling illness and infirmity." He is scheduled to travel to Latin America in November.
