Pope Leo's Africa Tour Ends

Speaking before a crowd of 100,000 worshippers in Mongomo, Leo called for the humane treatment of inmates and respect for human dignity in a country long accused of abuses.

His visit took on added significance following reports that Equatorial Guinea had received millions from the Trump administration to accept deported migrants.

Throughout his four-nation tour, the Pope has remained a vocal critic of the war in Iran and the resulting global suffering.

This trip solidifies his resolve to continue the social justice legacy of his predecessor, Pope Francis, despite ongoing friction with the White House.
