On November 10, 2026, Pope Leo XIV drew an estimated 650,000 people to an outdoor Mass in Córdoba, Argentina, as part of his 12-day tour through Latin America. This event followed a record-breaking gathering of about 2.5 million worshippers in Buenos Aires the previous day. The Pope encouraged Argentinians to follow the example of their saints and build a more "fraternal and caring nation." Córdoba, which had not hosted a reigning pontiff since 1987, was chosen for its strong Catholic history and central location within Argentina.
Leo has repeatedly challenged President Javier Milei’s right-wing government to make the economy more inclusive, protect trade unions and reverse funding cuts that hurt the poor and people with disabilities.
