Peruvian Church anticipates visit from Pope Leo XIV

The Peruvian Catholic Church hopes that Pope Leo XIV will visit Peru this year. "He told them clearly that it was very likely that he would be there in November, or at the latest the first week of December," said the president of the Peruvian Episcopal Conference at a press conference on Wednesday. He indicated that Leo XIV's visit was 80% certain and only logistical details remain to be finalized. The official invitation had already been extended by Peruvian authorities.
