Pope Leo XIV’s trip to Africa is so dizzying in its complexity it recalls some of the early globe-trotting odysseys of St. John Paul II. Themes Leo has raised during the four-country tour include Christian-Muslim coexistence, the exploitation of the continent's natural and human resources, corruption, migration and the legacy of colonialism. The 11-day trip began on April 13 in Algeria. That stop carries the most personal importance for Leo, given his ties to St. Augustine, the inspiration of his religious order who lived and died there. Leo has also traveled to Cameroon and Angola and is concluding his trip in Equatorial Guinea.
