00:02Pope Leo XIV marked one of the most important days of his visit to Madrid with his historic
00:07address to the Spanish Parliament, the first ever by any sitting pope. During his speech
00:12the pontiff acknowledged that society and the church itself have not always lived up
00:17to it insights that resonated within their own Christian tradition, and he also took
00:21the opportunity to call for immigrants to be received with respect and have real opportunities
00:26for integration.
00:29Numerosos hombres, mujeres y niños se ven obligados por circunstancias muchas veces dramaticas
00:36a partir de sus comunidades y dejar atrás seres queridos, historias y vÃnculos.
00:43Pope Leo also addressed the political tension saying that political pluralism should not
00:48degenerate into the constant denigration of the adversary. He received several minutes
00:54of applause at the end of his speech. Another significant moment of the day is
00:58said to be the private meeting Leo XIV will hold with victims of abuse within the church.
01:03The meeting, which will take place away from the public eye, aims to hear their testimonies
01:08firsthand and reaffirm the pope's commitment to truth, reparation and the prevention of
01:13these crimes, an issue he has placed among the priorities of his pontificate.
