Who Steps In While the Pope Heals?

Thursday, October 15, 2026 • Duration 08:56

Pope Leo is in hospital, but the work of the Church continues. Who handles Vatican business, which decisions wait and who takes his place at public events? White Smoke goes inside the practical arrangements and follows the prayers for his recovery, from Rome and Fatima to the Peruvian city he once called home.

This episode of White Smoke explains how the Catholic Church and Vatican continue operating while Pope Leo recovers from lung cancer surgery. It covers the Pope’s continuing authority, the role of Vatican officials, decisions expected to await his return and Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle’s assignment to lead a scheduled Mass. It also explores prayers for the Pope around the world and the traditions associated with Saint Peregrine, patron saint of people with cancer, and Saint Bernardine of Siena, associated with lung and breathing illnesses.
