Pope Leo’s historic Africa tour
The Mass in Douala was the largest gathering so far during the Pope's 11-day journey, highlighting the rapid growth of Catholicism on the continent.
Preaching in both French and English, Leo urged young people to resist the 'temptations of material and spiritual poverty' and to work for the common good.
The Pontiff's increasingly vocal denunciations of inequality have sparked repeated attacks from President Donald Trump.
Despite the political friction, the tour continues to mobilize millions of believers across Cameroon, with the Pope scheduled to travel to Angola next.
