Hope for a wounded Amazon: “The Pope knows where it hurts us” - Vatican News

Emily Johnson · · News about the Church
Pope Leo XIV's apostolic visit to Peru in November, with a stop in Pucallpa, is awaited with hope by the Churches of the Amazon. The bishops of Iquitos and Puerto Maldonado see it as more than a celebration: a call to conversion, unity, and renewed defense of Amazonian peoples.
They believe the Pope's firsthand knowledge of Peru will give strength to his message. From Pucallpa, they hope he will draw attention to the wounds of the Amazon, the dignity of Indigenous communities, and the need for a missionary, synodal Church close to the vulnerable. The real test, they add, will be what the Peruvian Church does after hearing him.
