Story summary

Pope Leo XIV embarked on a 12-day tour of South America starting November 6, 2026, just weeks after undergoing surgery for lung cancer. The Vatican confirmed that Pope Leo is in good health and no extra medical precautions are needed for the trip. He began his journey in Uruguay before traveling to Argentina, where he delivered a critique of President Javier Milei's austerity measures, emphasizing that economic growth must benefit all citizens. In Buenos Aires, Pope Leo also called for "particular concern" for those affected by illness, dependency, and disability, indirectly criticizing government cuts to disability assistance. The 71-year-old pope will conclude his tour with six days in Peru.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
