Pope Leo will have surgery to remove a nodule in his lung, the Vatican has confirmed. The 71-year-old pontiff told pilgrims of the planned operation himself during his weekly Sunday blessing in St Peter's Square. Details on the nodule's nature and a date for the procedure have not been fully outlined, and faithful and observers worldwide are following news of the Pope's health closely.

Why now: The health of a sitting pope is a matter of global concern and attention, especially when surgery is involved.
