Pope: leaves for visit to Latin America

The world's first Latin American pope is going home. Chosen on a mandate of piety and helping the poor, Pope Francis will visit Ecuador, Bolivia and Paraguay. 
They are three of the world's poorest and most marginal nations in a region that claims 40 percent of the world's Catholics. The Pontiff will not visit his native country, Argentina, preferring not to cause a distraction during the presidential election campaign.
