Pope Leo XIV is scheduled to be hospitalized at the Gemelli Hospital in Rome on Tuesday, October 13, to undergo surgery for the removal of a pulmonary nodule. In light of this medical procedure, the Vatican has announced the cancellation of all papal audiences through Tuesday, October 20.
The Pope's health status has prompted discussions regarding the potential impact on his travel schedule. In Argentina, officials are evaluating whether to maintain previously considered public holidays associated with a potential papal visit, with the Minister of Labor noting that canceling such measures would be considered "inelegant" given the circumstances surrounding the pontiff's health.
