Pope Leo XIV Visits Angola
The Pope's trip to Angola is part of a broader mission to encourage the long-suffering people of the region and address the Catholic Church's historical role in slavery.
Earlier on Sunday, he celebrated a massive outdoor Mass before an estimated 100,000 people in the capital.
Leo sought to refocus media attention on his spiritual message in Africa, clarifying that some narratives about his tensions with the White House have been inaccurate.
His visit to the Sanctuary of Mama Muxima highlights the intersection of faith, history, and the ongoing struggle for social justice in the Global South.
