Pope Leo XIV arrives in Peru on the final leg of a three-nation Latin America tour
Pope Leo XIV arrived in Lima on Wednesday, the final stop of a South America tour that included Uruguay and Argentina. The Vatican estimated about 3 million people greeted him, and he called Peru his "homeland," citing his two decades as a missionary priest and bishop there and his 2015 citizenship. He met President Keiko Fujimori and is scheduled to spend three days in Chiclayo, where he was bishop from 2015 to 2023.
