Pope Leo XIV has challenged Angola's leaders to “break the cycles of interests” that have plundered and exploited Africa for centuries. Leo issued the message after arriving in Angola on Saturday to bring encouragement to its long-suffering people. Leo is opening the third leg of his four-nation trip through Africa. Leo had further comments en route to Angola from Cameroon about his back-and-forth with U.S. President Donald Trump over the Iran war. Leo said that it was “not in my interest at all” to debate the president but that he would continue preaching the Gospel message of peace.
