    Oh wow, a 13-hour flight to Uruguay, the Pope is going on tour weeks after cancer surgery, and somehow this is breaking news. Nobody expected him to stay home and knit. The Vatican publishes its travel schedule months ahead, so “Pope travels as planned” was never a headline, just a calendar entry dressed up as drama.
