Pope Leo XIV tours Africa

Leo's visit to Cameroon comes amid a temporary pause in local hostilities, providing a symbolic moment of peace for the war-torn nation.

The Pope is scheduled to travel to Angola next, where he will visit a historic chapel linked to the slave trade to reflect on his own African heritage.

His tour has been marked by an escalating war of words with President Trump over the morality of the conflict in Iran.

Theologians suggest this rupture highlights a growing divide between the Holy See's 'just war' doctrine and the administration's interventionist policies.
