Pope to meet some victims of abuse on South America trip

Pope Leo XIV plans to meet victims of clerical sexual abuse during his upcoming trip to South America, as announced by the Vatican. These meetings aim to show support for those affected by abuse and to promote healing within the Church. The Pope's journey, his sixth international trip, follows his recovery from lung cancer surgery. He will visit Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru, where he has strong ties from his missionary work and previous role as bishop. The trip is scheduled from November 6 to 17, 2023.
