Pope Leo sends Milei a message during Argentina visit

Pope Leo XIV addressed the importance of defending democracy, limiting power, and living together despite differences during his visit to Argentina. He emphasized the need to strengthen education and protect the elderly and people with disabilities, stressing that "the economy must serve people, not the other way around." The Pope encouraged living together beyond differences, highlighting how nations can grow when diversity fosters dialogue and encounters.

He called for prudent authority, recognition of power limitations, and decisions aimed at the community's common good. Argentina, rich in resources, should focus on empowering its youth, who should not have to leave their homeland to pursue dreams. The Pope also advocated for the protection of unborn life, urging society to welcome life from the beginning.

Pope Leo XIV paid homage to Pope Francis, who once hailed from Buenos Aires and led the Church for a decade before his passing. The Argentine President, Javier Milei, welcomed the Pope's visit, noting that it united various political factions under one roof, demonstrating that unity can transcend differences. Milei praised faith's role and urged attendees to rise above temporary divisions, emphasizing the shared values that bind them.
