«Proud to be an American and to have exercised the right to
"vote" in the midterm elections.
Pope Leo XIV said this in his conversation with journalists during the flight to Uruguay, the first stop on his trip to South America, which will also take him to Argentina and Peru.
Prevost was the first Pope in history to send a ballot to his country, and during his trip he emphasized the importance of the gesture to journalists following his tour of South America.
A mission that seemed at risk 24 days ago, when Leone was diagnosed with a malignant lung tumor
at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome: "I never had any doubts about this journey," he says now. "Perhaps I'm better than before thanks to my faith in God, good doctors, and a healthy lifestyle. I would tell patients not to be afraid: regular check-ups are a blessing. The best thing is to take care of yourself."
