Pope Leo XIV returned to the Vatican on Saturday, four days after undergoing surgery for lung cancer. The 71-year-old leader of the world's 1.4 billion Catholics was discharged from the hospital to enthusiastic cheers and applause from well-wishers outside.
The pope's return capped several days of uncertainty that had rattled both the Vatican and Catholics globally. The medical procedure occurred less than two years into the Chicago-born pontiff's papacy.
