Pope Leo XIV visits Angola
During a massive Mass in Kilamba, Pope Leo XIV called on Angolans to build a culture of justice and hope while decrying the 'scourge of corruption.' This visit marks a poignant moment in his African odyssey, taking the first American pope to a former center of the slave trade.
While the tour aims to promote peacebuilding and interfaith dialogue, the Pope has also used the platform to address global tensions, including the war in Iran.
Despite seeking to downplay his feud with Donald Trump, the Pope's remarks have highlighted a significant rift between the Vatican and the White House.
