Pope Leo XIV Visits Angola

Continuing his first papal tour of the continent, Pope Leo XIV visited a Catholic shrine in Angola that was once an epicenter of the African slave trade.

He delivered a powerful message of hope and justice, calling for an end to political divisions and economic exploitation.

While the Pope's focus remained on interfaith dialogue and peacebuilding, he addressed reporters regarding his recent clash with the White House, attempting to de-escalate tensions.

The tour remains a significant diplomatic effort to strengthen the Catholic Church's influence in the Global South.
