Pope Leo XIV is set to embark on his planned trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru, despite recent lung cancer surgery, according to the Vatican. The papal visit is scheduled for November 6-17, three weeks post-surgery. The Vatican confirmed on Monday that there are no medical reasons preventing Pope Leo from traveling, as doctors assessed his recovery to be favorable.
The surgery, conducted on October 13, involved the removal of a malignant lung lobe where a nodule was diagnosed. Pope Leo has been gradually resuming his activities while prioritizing recovery and rest. Surgeons assured that the trip's ambitious program will remain unchanged. Pope Leo expressed gratitude for prayers and support during his recovery and eagerly anticipated returning to the continent where he spent significant moments of his life.
He emphasized the opportunity for strengthening ties with local churches, encouraging the faithful, and promoting a message of faith, hope, and peace in the three destination countries.
