Pope Leo XIV begins 3-day South American visit in Uruguay less than a month after his lung surgery
Pope Leo XIV recently underwent lung surgery. Less than a month after the procedure, he traveled to Uruguay to begin a three-nation tour of South America—the first papal visit to the continent in eight years. The visit has generated anticipation among Catholics in Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru, particularly those with connections to the Pope's earlier work as a bishop in Peru.
