Pope Leo XIV was discharged from Rome's Gemelli Hospital on Saturday, just four days after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his right lung, earlier than his initially expected weeklong recovery.
The pope has already resumed some of his duties, including initiating diplomatic talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday to push for a ceasefire and humanitarian aid. While his early discharge marks progress in his recovery, questions remain about his long-term prognosis and whether he will need additional cancer treatment. CBS News' @SayChrisLive has more.

Pope Leo XIV smiled and waved to cheering crowds as he left Rome's Gemelli Hospital on Saturday, four days after undergoing surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from his right lung.
The pope stopped to shake hands with well-wishers outside the hospital before departing for the Vatican. He is expected to recite the Angelus prayer from the window of the papal apartment on Sunday.

Leo hasn't even been discharged for major surgery and he's already calling Putin to bring an end to the carnage in Ukraine. One of the big questions surrounding the pope's cancer diagnosis: will it instill urgency into his papacy? This suggests it already has.
Speaking by phone with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Pope Leo XIV expresses his "deep concern about the grave humanitarian situation in the city of Oleshky, in the Kherson region," and calls for a ceasefire to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Thanks to @gayleking and @vladduthierscbs for talking with me about the formula for human flourishing, and why we are at risk of losing most of what humanity has learned over the millennia.
All related to The Happiness Hypothesis, which was re-released yesterday.
Social psychologist @JonHaidt is encouraging people to “reclaim our attention,” as rising screen time cuts back on emotional connections and “human flourishing.”
Haidt tells @gayleking and @vladduthierscbs about releasing an updated version of his bestselling book, “The Happiness Hypothesis,” and why he believes artificial intelligence is negatively impacting peoples’ sense of self-worth.

Trump also called the pope's brother, Louis Prevost, "a friend" and said Prevost and his wife are "big Trump supporters."

Questions remain about Pope Leo’s prognosis after doctors removed a cancerous nodule and the lower lobe of his right lung. The Vatican has not said whether the cancer has spread or what further treatment the 70-year-old pontiff may need, @SayChrisLive reports. The diagnosis also raises uncertainty over his planned trip to South America next month, which would be the biggest international trip of his papacy so far and includes Peru, where he served as a missionary and later as a bishop.
