Dear friends, during some recent medical examinations, the doctors found a small, localized nodule in my lung. It was detected at a very early stage and is well-localized. The doctors believe that it is best to intervene, so, following their advice, I have decided to undergo surgery to remove it. The operation is already scheduled to take place in the coming days. I thank you for your spiritual closeness and entrust myself to your prayers.

He said: "Netanyahu launched the worst possible unjustified attack against Lebanon. His contempt for life and international law is intolerable. He is a criminal that must be arrested immediately.”
He also adds that the EU will suspend its Association Agreement with Israel very soon.
This is what true leadership looks like.

Pope Leo on what he was thinking inside the conclave americamagazine.org/vatican-…
We hear homilies in our moments of greatest joy and deepest sorrow. Share with me and @americamag the best one you’ve ever heard—at a wedding, funeral, and/or ordination. Which one has stayed with you? What made it meaningful—and who preached it?

Over the last two months, the “Inside the Vatican” podcast team has been putting together a three-part deep dive series aimed at answering the question “Who is Leo XIV?” several insights surprised me that I hadn’t seen in much of the coverage of Leo XIV.
