Pope Leo XIV has wrapped up his visit to Argentina with two poignant moments. He told inmates at a prison linked to the country’s military dictatorship on Wednesday that there's always hope for redemption. He will also celebrate a final Mass at Argentina’s national shrine. Both sites have emotional ties to Pope Francis. But the trip’s emotional highlight comes when Leo returns to Peru. That's where he served as a missionary priest and bishop for more than two decades. A massive national party is planned to greet Leo. He's known to Peruvians as Padre Robert and beloved for ministering to poor communities.
