  "summary": "Pope Leo XIV, 71, has returned to Peru for a historic visit, greeted at the airport by President Keiko Fujimori. He blessed children with disabilities and babies on the tarmac, waving to crowds estimated at three million along his route into the city. At the Government Palace, he paid tribute to the Peruvian flag and sang the national anthem with a children's choir. This visit, the final leg of a 12-day tour of South America, holds special significance for the Chicago-born pontiff, who spent over two decades serving communities in Peru and acquired Peruvian citizenship in 2015.",
