Vatican Says Pope Leo Will Leave Hospital on Saturday, Days After Lung Surgery
Leo XIV had been treated for lung cancer at Gemelli Hospital in Rome.
Associated Press
What the coverage shows
Both outlets say the Vatican is presenting Pope Leo XIV as recovering well and resuming work while still in hospital. CBS leads with the pope having “resumed some work” after surgery, while the AP instead foregrounds the release of photos and says doctors reported encouraging post-operative test results. The AP alone mentions that he is eating and moving around at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital.
