Pope Leo urges democratic restraint during Argentina visit

Pope Leo arrived in Argentina on Sunday, Nov. 8, after a visit to Uruguay, according to The Independent. The Independent reported that he warned President Javier Milei about democracy, while The Hindu said the pope criticized Milei’s austerity policies and defended poor people. The Lancashire Telegraph reported that Leo told Milei people should come before the economy. Later reports described visits to a disability care home and meetings with survivors of clergy abuse, but did not provide further detail on the remarks or meetings.
