Pope Leo XIV Appoints Two New Bishops

Catholic IntelligenceUpdated 1 min read

Pope Leo XIV appointed two new bishops on Thursday while recovering from lung cancer surgery at Rome's Gemelli Hospital.

The Vatican reported that the pope's right lung is recovering favorably following the operation to remove a pulmonary adenocarcinoma on Oct. 13. According to a medical bulletin from physician Luigi Carbone and surgeon Stefano Margaritora, the postoperative progress is positive and recent blood tests returned normal results.

The pontiff has begun performing daily activities and physical therapy. Matteo Bruni, director of the Holy See Press Office, stated that the pope spent time in a temporary hospital chapel to concelebrate Mass and has continued working during his recovery.
