Pope Leo XIV begins his 12-day tour of Latin America. The Pope will arrive in Uruguay on November 6, after which he will visit Argentina and Peru. The visit to Peru will be the focus of attention, as it represents a certain return to the Pope's "second homeland". In Buenos Aires, there will be events related to the predecessor of Leo the Fourteenth, Francis, who never returned to the Latin American country in his capacity as Pope, despite having Argentine citizenship. In Uruguay, Leo XIV will give special attention to issues of social inadequacy. Meetings with the authorities and clergy of the countries they visited, mass gatherings and events with the participation of young people are planned. The central theme of the journey will be adherence to the Christian faith, which has largely shaped local societies, the Vatican said.
