Pope Leo's Historic Africa Tour
Pope Leo's four-nation journey through Algeria, Angola, Cameroon, and Equatorial Guinea has been interpreted as a pivotal turning point for his papacy.
Throughout the tour, he denounced the 'obscene' approach to modern warfare and urged world leaders to prioritize humanitarian aid over military spending.
His comments sparked a public feud with President Trump, who criticized the Pope for not doing enough to condemn the Iranian regime.
As he returns to the Vatican, Leo's message of hope and liberation through faith has resonated with millions across the continent.
