A papal declaration of moving forward sparked controversy this week, whilst details of the upcoming consistory and a Peruvian papal voyage have also been confirmed.
It seems that not even the interruptions to his return flight from Tenerife to Rome last Friday slowed Leo down. He was swiftly back into his regular full schedule of meetings and appointments, delighting Romans by his return to the papal apartments and his weekly Angelus address.
One such audience was with Peru’s President José María Balcázar on Thursday, after which the president confirmed that Leo will visit Peru in the first half of November. Though no official Vatican confirmation has yet arrived, it is believed that the trip would also include stops in Argentina, as a way of finally granting the nation the papal trip which never took place under Pope Francis.
