Journey with Struggles: Pope Leo XIV is back in South America

Pope Leo XIV begins his twelve-day trip to South America, starting in Uruguay, where he advocates for universal healthcare and addresses high suicide rates. Despite health challenges following recent surgery, he emphasizes democracy and renewable energy achievements in Uruguay. During a mass in Paysandú, he encourages spreading the Christian faith with 'creative courage.' The trip includes multiple flights and meetings with various groups, including sexual abuse victims. The Pope will visit Argentina and Peru next, where the Catholic Church faces different political climates under right-wing leaders. Over 390 million Catholics reside in South America.
