“Argentina, allá vamos”: La respuesta del Papa que despejó dudas sobre su viaje

Catholic Intelligence1 min read

Pope Leo XIV signaled his intention to proceed with his upcoming trip to South America during a general audience in St. Peter's Square on Wednesday. When asked by Argentines in the crowd about his scheduled visit, the Pope responded that he was heading to Argentina.

The Pope's comments follow a lung surgery performed eight days ago. While his recovery led to speculation regarding potential cancellations or delays, his medical team has stated there are no clinical impediments to the apostolic journey. The trip to Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru is scheduled for November 6 to 17.

During the audience, Brother Fernando León of the Sagrada Familia community and Brother Genaro Mareco Quiñónez told the Pope they were waiting for him in Córdoba. The Pope replied that he would be there.
