Story summary

On Monday, November 9, 2026, Pope Leo XIV visited the Cottolengo Don Orione, a Catholic-run home for disabled people in Claypole, Argentina, during his first full day in the country. The pope's visit came amid President Javier Milei's austerity measures that have cut funding for disability services, leaving residents without essential medications, special foods, and diapers since last November. Pope Leo emphasized during his tour that a person’s worth is not measured by productivity, countering Milei’s “hyper-capitalist” ideology which prioritizes economic competition over social welfare. The pope unveiled a commemorative plaque at the 50-hectare site housing more than 400 people with disabilities across 16 homes and praised their lives as "a blessing," not a burden to society. This visit is part of Pope Leo's broader message advocating for the care of the most vulnerable in Argentina, highlighting the ideological clash between religious values and economic policies.
