LIMA (Reuters) - Pope Francis departed Peru for Rome on Sunday, ending a trip to Latin America that also included neighbouring Chile.

The visit was marked by tough talk on political corruption in Latin America and a backlash over what many see as his insufficient resolve to tackle sexual abuse in the Church. [nL2N1PG0B3]
