BBC
What the coverage says
Pope Leo XIV has departed for a 12-day tour of Uruguay, Argentina, and Peru, marking his first major international travel since undergoing surgery for lung cancer last month. NPR and France 24 note that the recent operation had initially cast doubt on whether the journey would happen. France 24 adds that the first stop in Uruguay is the region's least Catholic and most secular nation, while DW highlights that the itinerary is the longest and farthest of his papacy and mentions that the final stop in Peru is generating particular interest.
