South America trip: Pope back in second home Peru - call for dialogue
Hundreds of thousands are greeting their Pope Leo XIV in the streets of Lima. The native American shows himself moved - but also finds clear words.
Pope Leo XIV has called for dialogue between Peru's warring political factions upon his return to the country, where he lived as a missionary and bishop for two decades. The Pope made the appeal after arriving in Lima, where he was greeted by President Keiko Fujimori, who has struggled to maintain stability in the 35-million-strong nation.
Hundreds of thousands of Peruvians lined the streets to cheer the Pope, who holds a Peruvian passport and expressed gratitude for being back in his homeland. He urged politicians to work together, overcome differences, and prioritize the country's well-being.
