Pope Leo XIV has cancelled a planned trip to an upcoming peace gathering in Assisi, Italy, scheduled for next week. The Vatican announced on Friday that the decision was made following medical advice to prioritize the Pope's recovery from recent surgery.
The pontiff underwent thoracic surgery last Tuesday to address lung cancer. The Vatican stated that the cancellation is intended to support his ongoing recuperation, preventing his attendance at the event titled 'Disarmed and Disarming Peace.'
