 VATICAN CITY -- Pope Leo XVI was returning to his home in the Vatican Friday afternoon after doctors said the pontiff was well enough to leave the Gemelli hospital after undergoing surgery for lunf cancer, the Vatican press office said. Leo was expected to arrive in the tiny city state after 3 p.m.

 On Sunday the American head of the Roman Catholic Church will deliver his weekly Angelus address from his study window in the Apostolic Palace overlooking St. Peter's Square, the Vatican said.
