Pope Leo, the 71-year-old American pontiff, has announced he will undergo surgery in the coming days to remove a nodule discovered on his lung during recent medical checks. The Pope made the surprise announcement himself from his famous balcony at St Peter’s Square, reassuring worshippers that the growth was detected at a very early stage and is localised. Despite the health scare just 18 months into his papacy, Pope Leo confirmed he will proceed with his planned trip to South America in November and still intends to visit Australia in 2028.
