Exact wording, as the AIs got it (in English)
By the end of Friday, October 30, 2026 (Rome time), will the Vatican officially say that Pope Leo XIV's trip to Uruguay, Argentina and Peru will start as planned on November 6? Counts: a statement from the Holy See Press Office, the Vatican's official news office, or a Vatican News report confirming the trip is going ahead. Does not count: silence, a surgeon's opinion, or local organizers' statements.
