Daily Catholic News:
Pope Leo XIV said doctors found a small lung nodule at an early stage and recommended surgery to remove it. The procedure is scheduled at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital early this week. Doctors have commented publicly on the planned operation, and bishops around the world have called for prayers for the pope’s health.
A survey of nearly 2,000 Australian Catholics found that many who do not attend Mass regularly continue to pray and value their faith. Respondents cited competing priorities, crises of faith and difficulties with clergy among the reasons they stay away.
