Pope Francis had part of one lung removed early in life. It never affected his ability to get the truth out. Pope Leo XIV seems to have the same qualities.

That’s bullshit. Cancer removed from the lung and no chemo or radiation?

Imagine if he passes away from that same cancer doctors say he doesnt need any further treatment for. I hope he gets right with God before its too late by repenting, & asking God for forgiveness for his sinful lifestyle

Amazing how I’ve had a handful of family members pass away from cancer, father and uncle from lung cancer, but a king, a pope get it and poof. Cancer free…no need for further treatment……

I prayed he wouldn’t survive, a priest got killed by a Crucifix but the @Pontifex not by a cancer surgery that is sad.

I trust God more than cancer surgeons. I guess Pope doesnt.
