Pope Leo XIV celebrates his first Mass in South America in Paysandú, Uruguay, drawing an estimated 40,000 people.

Pope Leo XIV held his first Mass in South America on Saturday in Paysandú, Uruguay, during a 12-day, three-nation tour. The Vatican said about 30,000 people registered in advance and another 10,000 attended, for an estimated 40,000 despite rain. The 71-year-old pope had lung cancer surgery on October 13, which had put the tour in doubt.

The split, in one line
The wires and aggregators run near-identical copy on the 40,000-strong crowd and the post-surgery comeback. Al Jazeera and Reuters lead instead with the pope's "bridge builders" message and the region's political divides.
