Pope Leo XIV concludes Africa visit with Mass in Equatorial Guinea

Pope Leo XIV is wrapping up his African odyssey with a final Mass in Equatorial Guinea.

A powerful rainstorm drenched the Malabo sports stadium and the estimated 30,000 people who gathered before dawn for Leo’s farewell liturgy.

But the deluge let up before Leo arrived in his covered popemobile for a romp through the deafening crowd.

Leo was leaving after an 11-day, four-nation voyage that took him from Algeria in the north of Africa to Angola in the south and Cameroon inbetween.

It was one of the newsiest papal trips in recent history because of the extraordinary back and forth with President Donald Trump over the Iran war.
