Pope Leo Mass in Angola

Pope Leo XIV, the first American pontiff, was greeted by massive crowds outside Luanda as he concluded his multi-nation tour of Africa.

During his homily, the Pope addressed the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, urging global leaders to prioritize diplomacy over military aggression.

The visit has highlighted a growing rift between the Vatican and the Trump administration, with the Pope using his platform to advocate for refugees and climate justice.

Angolan authorities estimated the attendance in the hundreds of thousands, making it one of the largest religious gatherings in the country's history.
