Pope Leo Visits Algeria

The visit is seen as a significant diplomatic effort to foster Christian-Muslim coexistence amid the ongoing war in the Middle East.

Leo presided over a historic Mass in Algiers and is scheduled to visit the archaeological ruins of Hippo, where St. Augustine lived and wrote.

The trip has been conducted under tight security following reports of failed suicide attacks near the capital.

Despite his ongoing feud with President Trump, the Pope has used his platform in Africa to call for peace and the protection of human dignity.
