Pope Leo XIV in Angola
Tens of thousands of faithful gathered to hear Pope Leo XIV deliver some of his most pointed remarks since the beginning of his papacy.
The American-born pontiff addressed the 'chains of corruption' that have historically plagued parts of the continent, calling for greater accountability from the rich and powerful.
His visit to Angola follows earlier stops in a tour designed to highlight the challenges facing the Global South.
The Pope's assertive tone has been noted by observers as a significant shift in his public speaking style during this historic trip.
