Pope Leo visits Equatorial Guinea

Throughout his journey across the continent, the Pope has issued sharp denunciations of authoritarianism, inequality, and corruption.

His visit to Equatorial Guinea is particularly significant as he follows in the footsteps of John Paul II, visiting a nation where 80% of the population is Catholic.

Human rights groups are watching the meeting closely, hoping the Pope will address allegations of widespread government abuse.

Leo XIV has already drawn hundreds of thousands of faithful to open-air Masses in Angola and other nations during this historic trip.
