Highly secularized Uruguay readies for Pope Leo XIV's visit, as reported by ewtnnews.com. The country's progressive stance on religion contrasts with the papal trip's significance.

The Vatican's tour of South America includes Montevideo, where local media note strong public interest despite the nation's secular identity, per en.mercopress.com.

Flight JAT762 is descending toward Montevideo at 1,650 feet, heading south, while N230E climbs out from the city at 2,250 feet, heading northeast, according to recent aviation data.
