Pope Leo XIV has said his doctors have found “a localized nodule” in his lung and will operate in a few days.
Speaking at the Angelus on Sunday, he said the nodule was “detected at a very early stage and is well localized.”
The Pope added that his doctors recommend surgery and that he will follow their advice, with the surgery scheduled for the coming days.
Pope Leo thanked everyone for their spiritual closeness and entrusted himself to our prayers.
“Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, doctors found a localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well localized. The doctors believe surgery is appropriate. Following their advice, I have therefore decided to undergo an operation to remove it. The operation is already scheduled for the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.”

Remember those horrific pictures of Jews liberated from Auschwitz?
This isn't one.
This is a Palestinian man released after 26 months of Israeli "administrative detention." No charge. No trial. No legal rights.
"Never again" sounds noble. It just turns out it was never meant to apply to everyone.
The Israeli government currently holds roughly 3,500 Palestinians under this system, and has issued more than 100,000 such detention orders since 1967.
October 7th wasn't the start of this. It was a reaction to it.
Why don't we hear anything about this?

Israel just dropped bombs on the Qaraoun Dam in Lebanon’s Beqaa Valley — a key water reservoir serving civilian populations across surrounding villages.
This is not a battlefield target.
It is a critical water infrastructure.
This is an act of genocide.
