教皇患病一事也促使人们呼吁就医并尽早进行癌症筛查。梵蒂冈周二宣布教皇利奥十四世因肺癌接受手术后，政治和宗教领袖纷纷以祈祷和支持的信息作出回应。
The pontiff’s illness also prompted calls for people to seek medical treatment and early cancer screenings. Political and religious leaders responded with prayers and messages of support after the Vatican’s announcement on Tuesday that Pope Leo XIV had undergone surgery for lung cancer.
联合国秘书长安东尼奥·古特雷斯祝愿教皇早日康复，并在社交媒体上表示，他的心与祈祷与教皇以及“全世界天主教群体”同在。梵蒂冈表示，这场历时90分钟的手术成功切除了教皇右肺的一部分。澳大利亚总理安东尼·阿尔巴尼斯是一名天主教徒，他表示，在这位精神领袖康复期间，他的心与祈祷与他同在。
The U.N. secretary general, António Guterres, wished the pope a speedy recovery and said on social media that his thoughts and prayers were with him and “the Catholic community worldwide.”The Vatican said the 90-minute procedure had successfully removed part of the pope’s right lung. The Australian prime minister, Anthony Albanese, a Catholic, said his thoughts and prayers were with the spiritual leader as he recovers.
“教皇利奥十四世是全世界天主教徒的灵感源泉，”阿尔巴尼斯在社交媒体上写道。“在我们这个现代世界中，他是和平、人性和理性的声音。”同样身为天主教徒的美国国务卿马尔科·卢比奥表示，他和妻子正在为教皇祈祷。“愿主赐予他力量，愿圣灵指引照料圣父的医疗专业人员，”他写道。
“Pope Leo XIV is a source of inspiration to Catholics right around the world,” Mr. Albanese wrote on social media. “He is a voice for peace, humanity and reason in our modern world.”Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who is also Catholic, said that he and his wife were praying for the pope. “May the Lord give him strength and the Holy Spirit guide the medical professionals taking care of the Holy Father,” he wrote.
一些人表示，教皇的病情应提醒人们为其他癌症患者祈祷，或自己去接受筛查。美国天主教主教会议敦促人们不仅为教皇祈祷，也为他的照护者祈祷。
Some said the pope’s illness should be a reminder to pray for others who have cancer or to get screenings themselves. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops urged people to pray not only for the pope but also for his caregivers.
该组织写道：“我们请求信众继续为教皇利奥的康复祈祷，也为照顾他的医生和工作人员祈祷。我们同样为所有正在与癌症共存的人、他们的家人以及照护他们的人祈祷。”
“We ask the faithful to continue praying for Pope Leo’s recovery and for the doctors and staff caring for him,” the group wrote. “We also hold in prayer all who are living with cancer, their families, and those who care for them.”
由教皇利奥任命为纽约大主教的罗纳德·A·希克斯代表该总教区、全国和全世界向教宗致以良好祝愿。旧金山对应的大主教萨尔瓦托雷·J·科尔迪莱奥内对教皇手术成功表示感谢，并呼吁人们与他一起为病人及其医疗团队祈祷，“愿他们在决定其治疗的下一步时得到指引”。俄勒冈州波特兰大主教亚历山大·桑普尔请求天主教徒和“所有善意的人”为教皇的康复祈祷。
Ronald A. Hicks, who was named archbishop of New York by Pope Leo, wished the pontiff well on behalf of the archdiocese, the country and the world. His counterpart in San Francisco, Salvatore J. Cordileone, gave thanks for the pope’s successful surgery and urged people to join him in praying for the patient and his medical team “as they discern the next steps in his treatment.”Alexander Sample, the archbishop of Portland, Ore., asked Catholics and “all people of good will” to pray for the pope’s recovery.
他写道：“在战争、分裂和不确定性沉重地压在世界各地人民身上的时刻，圣父对和平、对话和尊重每个人尊严的呼吁，为各地人民带来了亟需的希望信息。”
“At a time when war, division and uncertainty weigh heavily on people around the world, the Holy Father’s calls for peace, dialogue and respect for the dignity of every person offer a much-needed message of hope to people everywhere,” he wrote.
教皇利奥的困境也得到了一位来自其家乡伊利诺伊州的议员的回应。
Pope Leo’s plight was also addressed by a lawmaker from his home state of Illinois.
伊利诺伊州民主党众议员乔纳森·L·杰克逊称教皇是“我们中的一员”，并写道，这位天主教领袖是“一个芝加哥孩子，把我们社区的价值观念一路带上了世界舞台”，整座城市现在都与他同在，祝愿他坚强并完全康复。
Calling the pontiff “one of our own,” Representative Jonathan L. Jackson, Democrat of Illinois, wrote that the Catholic leader was “a Chicago kid who carried the values of our neighborhoods all the way onto the world stage,” and that the whole city was with him now and wished him strength and a full recovery.
鉴于教皇被诊断出肺癌，杰克逊先生还敦促人们与自己的医生交谈，并指出“及早发现能挽救生命”。
Mr. Jackson also urged people to talk to their doctors, in light of the pope’s lung cancer diagnosis, noting that “catching it early saves lives.”
播客主持人、曾担任特朗普总统白宫通讯主任的安东尼·斯卡拉穆奇则言简意赅：“我们今天以及每一天都为圣父祈祷。”在秘鲁——教皇利奥曾在那里生活多年，并计划在11月更广泛的南美之行中访问该国——人们聚集在教堂里点燃蜡烛祈祷。一些人还与他雕像合影。
Anthony Scaramucci, a podcaster and former White House communications director for President Trump, kept his message short: “We pray for the Holy Father today and everyday.”And in Peru, where Pope Leo lived for years and plans to visit as part of a broader trip to South America in November, people gathered at churches to light candles and pray. Some posed with a statue of him.
截至当地时间周三上午，教皇利奥的南美之行计划仍被列在其即将进行的行程安排中。埃夫拉特·利夫尼是《纽约时报》的一名驻外记者，常驻纽约。
