In this special breaking news edition, David Hahn is joined by the Catholic Herald’s Vatican correspondent Michael Haynes after Pope Leo XIV was diagnosed with lung cancer and underwent surgery at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital. Michael explains what the Vatican has confirmed about the diagnosis and the operation, the Pope’s family history of cancer and why doctors have not yet given him a clean bill of health. They also look at what his recovery could mean for his planned trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, and David invites viewers to keep the Holy Father in their prayers.
