Uruguay, Sturla does not rule out postponing the Pope's visit after surgery

Cardinal Daniel Sturla, archbishop of Montevideo, does not exclude that Pope Leo "It is possible that the doctors will not let him come now because he has to undergo some treatment, but that he may come later," Sturla told the Telemundo broadcaster today.

The cardinal added that it should be clarified in the next few days whether the Pontiff will be able to travel to the South American country on November 6. The operation, in which the lower lobe of the right lung was removed, was successful without complications, according to the Vatican. Sturla underlined that the priority is the Pope's recovery and that the decision lies with the doctors and the Holy See. In the meantime, preparations for the visit to Uruguay continue without changes, as well as in Argentina and Peru, the other two destinations of the Pontiff's South American trip.
