Pope Leo XIV, who underwent surgery to remove the lower lobe of his right lung due to lung cancer just weeks prior, embarked on a 12-day tour of South America starting November 6, 2026. The Vatican confirmed that Pope Leo is in good health and requires no additional medical measures for this trip. During his visit, he met with survivors of clerical sexual abuse in Argentina on November 9, drawing significant attention to the ongoing issues within the Catholic Church regarding sex abuse cases. On November 10, an estimated 2.5 million people gathered in Buenos Aires for a mass led by Pope Leo, marking his first papal visit to Argentina since Pope John Paul II's trip in 1987.
