Pope Leo XIV to visit Argentina in November

Pope Leo XIV is preparing for a multi-country tour, including a significant visit to Argentina scheduled from November 8 to 11. During a recent meeting in the Vatican, the Pope received leaders from the Argentine Episcopal Conference, including Archbishop Marcelo Colombo and Bishop Raúl Pizarro, to discuss the pastoral nature of the upcoming trip.

In Argentina, the Pope will be based at the Nunciature in Buenos Aires. His confirmed itinerary includes Buenos Aires on November 9, Córdoba on November 10, and Luján on November 11. Potential activities include meetings with religious figures, people with disabilities, and those in prison, with the Villa Devoto facility being a possible site.

The visit has sparked political debate in the Buenos Aires Legislature regarding state funding and the separation of Church and State. Additionally, the Red de Sobrevivientes de Abusos Eclesiásticos in Argentina has expressed formal opposition to the visit, citing concerns over the Vatican's handling of clerical abuse cases.

In Europe, the Pope's upcoming visit to France is generating high demand, with 80,000 spots at the Stade de France already filled. His French itinerary includes Paris, Lourdes, and Metz. The Pope's broader South American tour will also include stops in Uruguay and Peru.
