   Pope Leo XIV arrived in his "beloved" Peru on Wednesday, a nostalgic return to the nation where he spent two decades as a missionary before being tapped to lead the world's 1.4 billion Catholics. The 71-year-old pontiff landed in Lima on the last leg of an arduous three-nation Latin American tour, just weeks after undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
