Pope Leo XIV wrapping up Argentina visit before an emotional trip back to Peru, his adopted homeland
Pope Leo XIV is wrapping 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.
