Pope Francis has arrived in Peru on the final leg of a two-nation trip to South America. The Pope arrived from Chile, where he met victims of sexual abuse by priests in the country. Pope Francis landed in the Peruvian capital on Thursday. Before his arrival, President Kuczynski called the pontiff a "messenger of peace and hope". In Peru, Pope Francis will visit the cities of Puerto Maldonado and Trujillo, before holding a Mass in Lima on Sunday.
