Pope Leo XIV has arrived in Angola, marking the beginning of the third leg of his important Apostolic Journey across Africa. This visit follows a meaningful stay in Cameroon, where he connected with thousands, emphasizing themes of hope, faith, and peace.
During his flight from Cameroon to Angola, the Pope addressed rumors and cleared up misconceptions about his mission. He highlighted his role as a pastor whose primary goal is to encourage Catholic communities rather than engage in political debates. This statement was particularly significant in light of media reports suggesting tension between him and U.S. President Donald Trump, which the Pope has firmly denied.

- Unity
