Pope Leo XIV leaves hospital following lung operation

Pope Leo XIV has been discharged from the hospital following lung surgery, the Vatican announced on Saturday. The 71-year-old pontiff spent five days recovering at Rome's Gemelli Hospital following surgery on Tuesday. Surgeons removed the lower lobe of his right lung, according to the Vatican. Back at the Vatican, the Pope is expected to deliver his traditional Sunday noon blessing. The Pope has three weeks to recover before his next overseas trip, involving a dozen flights and two helicopter journeys.
