Pope Leo XIV is recovering from surgery to remove an early-stage lung tumor. In this episode of Crisis Point, Eric Sammons explains what we know, why there's no "vice pope," the danger of officials speaking for an incapacitated pontiff, and how Catholics should respond to the mockery that the pope went "straight to science." He also takes on the hardest question: why would God let a pope get cancer?
