(ANSA) - Rome, January 22 - Pope Francis is on his way back to the Vatican after concluding a week-long visit to Chile and Peru.
Around 1.3 million people attended the final Mass of the trip at the Las Palmas military air base in Lima.
"This is a land of hope," the pope said before boarding the return flight.
During the Chilean leg of the visit, Francis met a group of victims of
pedophile priests and apologized for child sex abuse committed by
members of the clergy. The pope is set to arrive in Rome at 14:15
Italian time.
