> Pope Leo XIV arrived Tuesday at Agostino Gemelli University Hospital in Rome for surgery to remove a small lung nodule. He said doctors found it at a very early stage and advised removal. The procedure is expected to be brief, with a hospital stay of about a week; the Vatican has not said whether the nodule is cancerous.
