Pope Leo XIV expressed joy about returning to South America for a trip from November 6-17, which includes visits to Peru, Uruguay, and Argentina. He emphasized the importance of strengthening communion among believers and sharing the Gospel. The Pope is following medical advice closely while remaining committed to his duties. This journey marks his sixth international trip, with significant ties to Peru, where he served as a missionary and bishop. His predecessor, Pope Francis, did not visit Argentina during his papacy.
