梵蒂冈城 - 当美国红衣主教罗伯特·普雷沃斯特于2025年5月出现在圣彼得大教堂阳台上，作为新任天主教教皇利奥十四世时，他与前任教皇方济各形成了鲜明对比。
VATICAN CITY - When U.S. Cardinal Robert Prevost emerged on the balcony of St. Peter’s Basilica in May 2025 as Pope Leo XIV, the new leader of the Catholic Church, he struck a stark contrast to his predecessor Francis.
利奥年仅69岁，对教皇而言算是年轻，显得精力充沛，声音洪亮，且没有已知的健康问题史。方济各在88岁去世前，其12年的教皇生涯中日益虚弱。
Leo, young for a pope at 69, appeared energetic, spoke in a strong voice and had no known history of health issues. Francis, who died at 88, had become increasingly frail during his 12-year papacy.
梵蒂冈周二宣布，现年71岁的利奥在当天下午 surgeons 切除部分右肺后被诊断出患有肺癌，全球14亿天主教徒再次意外面对生病教皇的现实。
With the Vatican’s announcement on Tuesday that Leo, now 71, was diagnosed with lung cancer after surgeons removed part of his right lung that afternoon, the world’s 1.4 billion Catholics are again unexpectedly facing the reality of a sick pope.
