Story summary

Pope Leo XIV, who underwent lung cancer surgery just weeks prior, embarked on a 12-day tour of South America starting November 6, visiting Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru. Despite his recent health issues, Vatican officials stated that no special medical precautions were necessary for the trip. In Argentina, Pope Leo delivered a diplomatic but pointed critique of President Javier Milei's austerity measures, emphasizing the need to support those struggling economically. The pope was welcomed in Buenos Aires with official ceremonies and city-wide illuminations honoring his historic visit, which marks only the second papal visit since 1987.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
