Prism keeps a sentence only when at least two write-ups share the same core details. Adjectives that signal a take are stripped. This is not a verdict — it is the overlapping record.
Headlines in this cluster diverge enough that no sentence repeated cleanly. Shared names and figures are listed below; treat single-source claims as unverified here.
Claims that appeared in only one write-up, each labeled by outlet.
The Vatican reported that Pope Leo XIV is “fit to be discharged” after undergoing lung cancer surgery.
The health of Pope Leo XIV, LIVE: how his recovery continues after the operation and news from today, October 17.
Sources are ordered left → neutral → right so the spread is visible. Stance is a coarse editorial label for comparison, not a moral score. Timestamps are the time each item entered the feed.
