Pope Leo XIV visits Angola
Leo's visit included a poignant stop at the Sanctuary of Mama Muxima, a Catholic shrine located at a former hub of the African slave trade.
He recalled the centuries of 'sorrow and great suffering' endured by the Angolan people while encouraging them to build a future based on justice.
The American pope also sought to clarify recent tensions with the White House, stating that certain narratives about his comments have been inaccurate.
His trip aims to bolster the Catholic Church's influence in one of Africa's most populous nations.
