"Nabalitaan ko yung iba, pinapagawa na sa AI ang kanilang recollection o kanilang homily. Kung hindi galing sa puso yun, hindi yun homily. That's not a missionary witnessing to my faith. That is just restructuring of data put into a database and thats not faith." - Cardinal Tagle

An interesting excerpt from “American Pope” explaining how Bob Prevost joined an alcoholism outreach team in 1978, helping families cope with a loved one’s addiction and reach out to them (and yes, it’s the iconic mustache era).
"He had a great way of just kind of getting in the middle," one sister recalled of the future pope, "and making both sides come together and build bridges."

Pope Leo XIV’s doctors have confirmed that the tumor removed on October 13 was a lung adenocarcinoma and that the disease was localized.
Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora said on Wednesday evening that a subsequent oncological assessment has confirmed that “no further treatment is necessary.”

I would like to thank all those who have prayed for me in recent days. I wish to express my particular gratitude to the doctors, nurses and all the staff of the Gemelli Hospital. This experience has made me feel particularly close to all those who are living with illness or infirmity. Now that I have overcome this delicate phase I will gradually resume my activities, always with God’s help and your prayers.

Love this anecdote from the surgeon that operated on Pope Leo XIV:
"On the second day after the operation, we turned around and found him arranging the chairs in the chapel himself. We said, “Holy Father, we can do that.” And he replied, “It doesn’t matter. I can do it, so I will.” What can I say? He really was an absolutely ideal patient."
