Pope Leo XIV begins visit to Argentina

Pope Leo XIV landed today (Sunday) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, following his visit to neighboring Uruguay. Upon his arrival, the Pope was greeted by President Javier Milei. During his stay, the Pope is scheduled to hold a series of masses and institutional meetings throughout the country, including in Córdoba and Luján. According to Infobae and the Guardian, the visit comes amid complex relations between the two, stemming from Milei’s economic policies—which have previously faced criticism from the Church—and the current government's decisions to cut welfare and disability funding. The Pope is expected to visit a facility for the disabled near Buenos Aires tomorrow. Further details have not yet been released.
