Pope Leo begins 12-day South America tour, weeks after lung surgery | Khaleej Times

Description

Pope Leo XIV has begun a 12-day tour of Uruguay, Argentina and Peru, saying he is in “fairly good shape” just three weeks after undergoing surgery for a tumour on his right lung.

The 71-year-old pontiff is set to meet political leaders, prisoners and communities, with Peru expected to be the highlight of the trip after nearly two decades he spent there as a missionary.
