WorldPope makes first public appearance since surgery

Pope Leo XIV appeared in public for the first time since lung cancer surgery and said he would gradually resume his duties. His surgeon described his condition as satisfactory and estimated full recovery would take about ten days. The pope is scheduled to visit South America from November 6 to 17, and the surgeon sees no clinical reason to cancel the trip.
