Pope Leo XIV's Africa Tour

During his visit to Angola, the Pope lamented that millions are being 'defrauded by the rich' and exploited by tyrants, a message that resonated across the fastest-growing region of the Catholic Church.

This tour has highlighted the pontiff's shift toward a more confrontational speaking style on issues of social justice and global conflict.

While Vice President JD Vance has attempted to downplay reports of a 'holy war' between the Vatican and the White House, the Pope's clear rhetoric has left little room for ambiguity.

The visit underscores the strategic importance of Africa, which now accounts for nearly 300 million believers worldwide.
