Pope Leo XIV will meet survivors of abuse by Catholic clergy during an upcoming tour of Latin America, the Vatican says. Multiple outlets report the Pope’s planned encounters are intended to include victims of clergy abuse, though the Vatican does not provide locations or specific details for the meetings.
According to reports, the trip will take the American pope to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru. Outlets also highlight that the Vatican statement does not specify when or where the meetings will occur during the visits, and in some coverage it suggests several meetings are planned, rather than a single encounter.
While the core information is consistent across sources, the emphasis differs slightly by outlet. Some lead with the planned survivor meetings, while others more prominently frame the absence of logistical details from the Vatican statement, or combine both the trip itinerary and the survivor encounters in their opening lines.
