Pope Leo XIV concluded his visit to Uruguay on Sunday with a mass in Florida attended by an estimated 50,000 people, where he praised women for preserving the Catholic faith and called on men to treat their wives with respect. He then departed for Argentina, landing in Buenos Aires to a welcome from President Javier Milei, a leader whose austerity policies have drawn criticism from the Church.
