  "account": "Archbishop Ángel Rossi of Córdoba joked about needing a psychologist due to low self-esteem after accompanying Pope Leo XIV in a procession through the city. Hundreds of thousands of faithful greeted the Pope, who was greeted with joy by a young boy who asked for his blessing for himself and his family. The boy, around 10 years old, exclaimed \"Alto anillito, eh!\" - an Argentine colloquialism for \"Cool ring!\" - after seeing the Pope's golden Fisherman ring symbolizing pontifical authority. A young couple awaited the Pope outside his palace, requesting his blessing for their upcoming marriage. The Pope greeted them and their happiness was shared on social media. When the Pope first arrived in Argentina, children gathered with flowers, letters, and gifts. One Boy Scout member presented him with a capybara cuddly toy, which the Pope received with amazement but a warm hug. The Pope's austerity message clashed with a lavish gastronomic stand in the exclusive Palermo neighbourhood, where he held his first mass attended by 2.5 million people. City Mayor Jorge Macri defended the extravagant display against criticism on social media. Argentine crowds followed the Pope with the same fervor they showed for football, with anthropologist Nicolás Viotti noting that the large-scale celebrations reflect Argentine culture and identity.",
