Pope Leo’s Argentina visit: consolation for Francis no-show
Francis visited several Latin American nations, including Brazil, during his papacy but never returned to Argentina, disappointing many compatriots.
Pope Leo XIV is making his first papal visit to Argentina after a 39-year absence. The trip includes an open-air mass in Buenos Aires, a stop in Cordoba, and a pilgrimage site near the capital. The late Pope Francis, who served as archbishop in Buenos Aires for 15 years, is remembered fondly for his close ties to Latin America. Many Argentinians are hoping that Pope Leo XIV will help mend the divisions created by Francis' decision not to visit the country during his papacy. The most recent pope to visit Argentina was John Paul II in 1987.
