Even after lung surgery: visit of Pope Leo XIV to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru continues

Pope Leo XIV's visit to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru will proceed as planned despite his recent lung surgery. The Vatican confirmed his recovery is progressing well, allowing the trip from November 6 to 17. No medical issues were found that would prevent the journey, which is significant for the Pope due to his ties to Peru. Although doctors suggested canceling the trip, the Pope has already canceled a visit to Assisi on October 27.
