Pope Urges Argentines to Follow Model of Saints During Mass in the ‘Land of Saints’
The Vatican said 650,000 attended as Leo praised Argentina’s best-known saints and met representatives of the poor and victims of dictatorship-era violence.
- On Tuesday, Pope Leo XIV drew an estimated 650,000 people to Mass in Córdoba, Argentina, a day after 2.5 million attended his liturgy in Buenos Aires.
- Due to its central location, the Argentine Aircraft Factory hosted the liturgy; the site, run by the air force for much of the 20th century, built attack planes for counterinsurgency operations.
- During his homily, Pope Leo XIV described Córdoba as a "land of saints," honoring St. José Gabriel del Rosario Brochero, the "Gaucho priest," and Mama Antula, Argentina's first female saint.
- Greeting 20 representatives of the marginalized, the Pope will meet Alba Camargo, 64, who called the gesture "a gesture of support" for searching for relatives abducted during the 1976-1983 dictatorship.
- Looking ahead, the Pope is scheduled to visit the Devoto Prison to pray with inmates, while his host, Cardinal Ángel Rossi, has criticized President Milei's funding cuts to memorial sites.
