Summary
The Vatican released photos Friday of Pope Leo XIV, 71, celebrating Mass in a makeshift chapel at Rome's Gemelli Hospital, where he distributed Communion to hospital staff. He is recovering after surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung Tuesday, with tissue examination confirming lung adenocarcinoma. His physician said blood tests and a chest X-ray showed steady improvement; the operating surgeon said he can now carry out daily activities independently.
