World4 sources2 countries40m ago
Pope Leo is recovering at the Agostino Gemelli University Hospital in Rome following successful thoracic surgery for lung cancer. The 71-year-old pontiff spent a stable night in the hospital and has begun eating breakfast, according to official Vatican statements released on Thursday.
The Vatican bureaucracy remains operational during the Pope's recovery period. Due to centuries of institutional development, the administrative systems of the Holy See are designed to function independently, allowing the church to maintain its routine operations while the Pope is incapacitated.
