Story summary

Pope Leo XIV embarked on a 12-day tour of South America starting on November 6, 2026, just weeks after undergoing lung cancer surgery. The trip includes visits to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. Despite his recent health challenges, Pope Leo is the first pope in decades to visit Uruguay, where Catholicism has declined significantly. In Argentina, he met with survivors of clerical sexual abuse, a sensitive issue given that former President Jorge Mario Bergoglio (Pope Francis) was involved in controversial cases during his tenure as archbishop. The trip aims to address both religious and political divides within these countries while also addressing the legacy of Pope Francis.
