Uruguay is getting ready for papal visit of Leo XIV

Uruguay, one of Latin America's most secular countries is getting ready to welcome Pope Leo XIV. Some Uruguayans hope it will revive interest in the Catholic Church. Others see it as a perfect opportunity to put their country in the spotlight. In Montevideo, vendors are already selling Vatican flags and caps bearing the pope's image as the capital prepares for the country's first papal visit since 1988.
