09:24And there will be the words of the President of the Republic, Yaman Duorzi.
09:47Your Holiness, Pope Leo XIV, welcome to Latin America.
10:00Welcome to this great homeland, Patrick Grande, that awaits you and receives you with open
10:04arms and an open heart.
10:34Welcome, dear friend, to Uruguay.
10:40A nation with a government, former presidents from various political parties, and our people
10:44can all sit together in peace and with joy to offer you this embrace of welcome.
10:54And here we are.
11:03This is a beautiful country built over the course of the last 200 years.
11:14In this square, you will observe a plurality of voices and perspectives.
11:20Over the years, we have learned and continue to learn how to transform our differences and
11:28opposing viewpoints, some of which have at times been very intense, into a shared space
11:35where justice and fraternity can flourish.
11:38During my visit to the Vatican, we also spoke about those moments of convergence and divergence.
11:48We have unfinished tasks, and we carry our own sorrows.
11:52We share a vision of integral human development, which proves that the common good extends far
12:03beyond mere efficiency.
12:07And we believe that moral and spiritual dignity is the true guarantee of a nation's success.
12:24As you know, do you need recent and cyclical technological advancement?
12:28For these reasons, your visit is a great occasion to recognize the values that unite us, push us
12:36and push us and challenge us to continue to put human development as a horizon of any political option
12:45that seeks the real promotion of the common good.
12:56And this figure would like to have a situation of dz legacy community.
13:15And it was very practical.
13:18Because of the duty of church, we must be thankful.
13:30What the Christians have done in the neighborhoods,
13:34in the poor neighborhoods in jail.
13:36And for education, the refugee and accompaniment
13:40from the church that brings for the compatriots
13:45in dictatorship is a clear example of the work.
13:54Catholics recognize, has given their ideas
13:58and their solidarity to build this nation.
14:03By example, the eradication of housing
14:12and divesting all neighborhoods.
14:16But also, this is the country of Father Mateo,
14:23the anti-cruid movement.
14:32Is the country of Perico Perez Aguirre
14:35for his fight for the human rights.
14:41Is the hero of Casino de París and Father Cacho.
14:51We did the firm decision for the needed people
14:56on how to forget for the ones that were then left their fingerprint
14:59as the beginning of our nation, together with Jose Artiga,
15:03Manuel Barreto, Monterroso.
15:14We are clear that this building that is Uruguay church has been a fundamental pillar.
15:22And we want for you to come with us in your permanent love for dialogue,
15:29and in the defense of solidarity and peace.
15:34We chaired the development of integral development
15:40that it's well known that the common is beyond efficiency and dignity,
15:45the moral and spiritual is the guarantee of successful of the mission.
15:51As you remember, the technological advantage can be against our human condition
16:03and winning affected negatively on jobs.
16:06We can just not think in percentage terms
16:10of certain conversions of subsistence.
16:15We are in an anthropological problem and social that you identified.
16:21Thank you for being in this way to clear voice in the international scene.
16:33In this world of immediacy, apathy, and fatigue, work tends to become a simple tool.
16:43In your encyclical Magnifica Humanitas,
16:46the opportune remind us that instead of being considered an instrument,
16:52work is the essence of the human condition.
16:56That is why today the Uruguayan workers who are present here
17:00also add to this permanent fight for dignity.
17:04Personally, I admire and appreciate the position of the Vatican
17:09with what concerns human rights
17:11and place the dignity occupies with their regard.
17:17because we can never forget, especially in these unusually accelerated times,
17:21that the center continues to be the human being.
17:26That creature called to relationship and communion.
17:30We share and accompany your unwavering stance in favor of peaceful resolutions of conflicts.
17:39Our commitments to dialogue and consensus,
17:44which governs our attitude,
17:51is what we Uruguayans always promote in international organizations.
17:58The scenes of violence and wars between people are not created in one day.
18:04There are climates that are prepared and promoted for misinformation and fears.
18:08For this reason, today more than ever, from politics and governments,
18:11we have the obligation to propose other ways to link ourselves in all areas.
18:24Multilateralism is much more than an option.
18:35As the permanent invitation set the table and avoid confrontations,
18:38that at this point we know that can take on catastrophic dimensions.
18:42For humanity, peace, dialogue and negotiation are the only way possible.
18:48In this shared search, as you say,
18:51we are not afraid.
18:53There should not be a society immersed in a logic of friends and enemies.
19:00There must be a proposal that offers certainly, fundamentally, to our young people,
19:11who are increasingly necessary.
19:18Of course, as framed with the ideological, cultural and philosophical.
19:25Pope Leo, thank you for encouraging believers and non-believers to become protagonists of history,
19:34capable of facing internal resistance as well as external in the construction of a civilization
19:41where authentic development is always based on integration and not marginalization.
19:47Your presence inspires us and encourages us to assume the enormous responsibility that we have as humanity.
19:58We will not flag in our efforts.
20:00Again, thank you for your visit.
20:03Welcome to Uruguay.
20:07This was the speech of President Yamandu Orsi in his welcoming of Pope Leo XIV in the European country.
20:24In this, we are waiting for the Pope Leo's speech.
20:30This is the visit of the Pope for decades.
20:36And now let's hear the words of Pope Leo XIV.
20:40Pope Leo XIV just arrived to Uruguay and is together not only with ministers, presidents, or the high important people,
20:53but also together with the community, the people, the faithful people that are waiting for his arrival.
21:01Let's listen.
21:22I thank you, Mr. President, for your words of welcome,
21:31and for the hospitality with which you have received me.
21:35I gave the representatives of the institutions of the Republic here present
21:41and those of the nations accredited to this country.
21:46On this, our first meeting, I wish to extend my greetings to all Uruguayans, wherever they may be.
22:00Over the next few days, I will have the pleasure of visiting various places in this country,
22:04of encountering its history, and meeting the men and women who, in so many different ways,
22:13are part of the life of the nation among these places.
22:17Florida holds a special place.
22:21It is there that Our Lady of the 33, patroness of Uruguay, is venerated.
22:28A warm round of applause for Our Lady.
22:32As I begin my visit, I would like to place under her protection all those whom I will meet along
22:39the way.
22:39Her presence accompanied a decisive chapter in the history of the nation,
22:44and continues to unite very different generations of Uruguayans.
22:51That same history includes another episode, which I would like to mention here.
22:58I am thinking of the exodus of the people of the East, in 1811, also known as La Redotta.
23:08We need not look far to recall it, where the monument to Artigas, in the center of the square,
23:18features on its pedestal a bronze frieze, which Angelo Zanelli depicted scenes from that event.
23:29I would like to focus on some details of those figures, since they offer a concrete starting point for reflecting
23:37in Uruguay today.
23:40At the top of the monument, Artigas appears alone on horseback.
23:46Further down, on the front relief, he reappears among his men, surrounded by the crowd.
23:56This detail brings to mind the words he spoke shortly thereafter,
24:03before the representatives of the Eastern Provinces gathered at the Congress of April in 1813.
24:08The authority, he said, comes from you, and it ceases by your sovereign presence.
24:24In a single sentence, Artigas spoke of the origin of authority and the responsibility of those who exercise it.
24:35Authority is received from a specific community and is accountable to that community.
24:41The year 2025 marked four decades of uninterrupted democracy in Uruguay,
24:48during which various governments have succeeded one another by the will of the citizens.
24:57Public authority finds its raison d'etre in service to the common good,
25:04and it is called to exercise it within the framework of law
25:08and with respect for the freedom and responsibility of the citizenry.
25:12Hence, the value of those structures which allow for participation in public life,
25:19which clearly define the powers of institutions,
25:23and which provide for the election of those who assume the task of governing.
25:28The common good also includes the duty to pass on to future generations the goods we ourselves have received.
25:40As my predecessor Pope Francis observed, the notion of the common good also extends to future generations.
25:49This responsibility is reflected in decisions that concern the use of natural resources and energy sources.
26:00In recent decades, Uruguay has profoundly transformed its electrical grid,
26:08which today relies almost entirely on renewable sources.
26:13This is a remarkable achievement that required sustained decisions over many years
26:19and the participation of various sectors of the country.
26:24This step forward now poses new challenges in the areas of transportation, production,
26:30and the responsible use of land, water, and energy.
26:36Planning for the long term entails the ability to manage these resources
26:42without compromising future possibilities.
26:46Concern for the future also embraces those destined to inhabit this land,
26:52the conditions in which they will be born and grow up,
26:56and the opportunities they will encounter throughout their lives.
27:03The Uruguay's demographic trends make this concern particularly present.
27:10One of the release on the monument depicts a woman holding a baby in her arms.
27:19She holds the child close as the march presses forward around her.
27:27That gesture of protection invites us to reflect on life that is just the beginning,
27:34as well as life still developing in the mother's womb.
27:42And that gains a round of applause.
27:45The unborn already belongs to the human family and to the future of their people.
27:56Their absolute dependence on their mother does not diminish the dignity to which they are entitled or the protection they
28:05deserve.
28:10.
28:11Welcoming a new life requires that fathers assume their responsibility alongside mothers.
28:21that the family offers its support, and that social conditions exist that allow
28:29both parents to raise and care for their children. The protection of the unborn
28:35and the support of those who welcome them are inseparable. The family remains the
28:41primary setting in which each person is welcomed and learns to live with others.
28:53St. John Paul II, who also had the joy of visiting this land, expressed this in a
29:01phrase that retains all its original force. The future of humanity passes by
29:07way of the family.
29:15In another part of the frieze, we see children walking side by side with adults. Children
29:26are a part of the community even before they are able to share in its decisions or contribute
29:32to it by their labor. Those walking alongside the adults were one day in turn to be entrusted
29:41with the responsibility of advancing the life of the community. Caring for the youngest members
29:47of society necessarily includes ensuring they receive a suitable education.
30:00The home in which children grow up, the nourishment they receive, and the presence of adults who
30:06accompany them shape their earliest years. Education takes up this task, developing children's capacity,
30:16shaping their judgment, and preparing them to participate freely and responsibly in the life of society.
30:26Education must also provide concrete opportunities for entering the workforce, putting the fruits of
30:33one's learning into practice, and achieving personal autonomy by one's own efforts. Work is thus
30:40one of the structures that enables each person to develop his or her abilities and to contribute
30:49to the good of others. It is worth recalling that work is for man and not man for work.
31:07This principle remains as relevant as ever in the face of rapid changes in technology and artificial intelligence.
31:15The development of these technologies ought to expand human capabilities, facilitate tasks, and create new
31:22possibilities while ensuring that the laborer is not reduced to a mere expendable cog in the production process.
31:36Among the figures on the monument, we also find an elderly woman stooped, leaning on a cane, and advancing with
31:50difficulty.
31:52Around one of the wagons several people are gathered and reaching out to one another.
31:58Some appear more concerned with helping others than simply going about their own business.
32:05Those who need help and support to carry on were also part of that community.
32:11Their place in it did not depend on their own strength, self-sufficiency, or ability to contribute.
32:18Today, too, people's worth cannot be measured by what they produce, by their work, or by their ability to fend
32:26for themselves.
32:33The fundamental dignity of each person, therefore, is neither acquired nor earned, nor does it need to be justified.
32:47The bronze relief portrays faces and gestures, but it tells us nothing of what each individual carried in their heart
32:53as they moved amid the others.
32:57Today, we can live our lives surrounded by others, at work, on the streets, or even in our own homes,
33:05yet remain unaware of the burdens that others may be carrying.
33:11Loneliness, anxiety, the loss of hope can become so profound that a person no longer sees a reason to continue
33:23living.
33:25Given the painful reality of suicide, it is clear that adequate health care, family ties, and the closeness of the
33:34community are inseparable.
33:37No one should feel like a stranger among their own, or think that they are absent and there is less
33:52than their presence.
33:53Other forms of suffering can be seen in illness or poor living conditions.
34:03Sickness, disability, physical pain, loss of autonomy, poverty, unemployment, or social exclusion can make it especially necessary that others offer
34:19help.
34:22Recently, I experienced first-hand the limitations imposed by illness, and I received care for which I am deeply grateful.
34:34That experience makes me think of the many men and women who lack the means to obtain a timely diagnosis
34:44or receive the treatments they need.
34:52Ensuring that health care is accessible to every person, regardless of their resources, is a duty that confronts every society.
35:08Those facing any of these situations do not cease to be full members of society, nor do their lives lose
35:18any of their value.
35:20In such circumstances, their weakness makes it all the more urgent that they receive the assistance, resources, and support they
35:28need.
35:32Caring for those who suffer is a responsibility incumbent upon the entire human family.
35:38For the Church, this duty finds a particular basis in the commandment of Christ to recognize and serve Him in
35:48those most in need.
35:51As Benedict XVI noted, the true measure of humanity is essentially determined in relationship to suffering and to the sufferer.
36:05Hence, it is everyone's responsibility to ensure that each person can live with dignity, receive the care they need, and
36:15to be accompanied until the natural end of his or her life.
36:30Through its dioceses and communities and through the many people dedicated to the service of others, the Church wishes to
36:37cooperate with all those who work to alleviate suffering whenever possible,
36:43and to support the individual in cases when suffering cannot be eliminated.
36:49To this common effort, the Church contributes what is unique to her, a hope that does not fade when human
36:57resources reach their limits.
37:00It reminds those undergoing trials that their lives always retain meaning and value, that they are not alone, and that
37:10even in dark times, they do not cease to be loved by God.
37:23The crowd marching alongside Artigas brought together people from very diverse backgrounds.
37:30In the relief, a well-dressed woman walks behind a wagon, while others lead animals or carry their belongings.
37:42Those differences are also a part of the history of Uruguay, where generations of men and women from different backgrounds
37:50and social conditions made this land a common homeland.
37:57People who are part of the same community may come from very different backgrounds and have unequal resources.
38:08Ultimately, the way the economy is organized and directed has a direct impact on people's living conditions and their ability
38:18to shape their future.
38:23The creation of wealth, investment, and economic initiative, both public and private, are necessary for a country's development.
38:35Yet, their benefits must also translate into goods and opportunities that effectively reach everyone, for it is individuals that matter,
38:46each and every person together with their families.
38:58Coexistence among people of different backgrounds and traditions is a part of Uruguay's history.
39:08The pluralism expressed in the beliefs and convictions of its citizens today.
39:14The secular character of the state involves an obligation to ensure that there is room for believers and non-believers
39:22to live together in freedom and respect.
39:28This neutrality does not require that the religious dimension be confined to the private sphere.
39:38As the Second Vatican Council teaches, no one should be compelled to act against his or her conscience or prevented
39:46from acting in accordance with it, whether in private or in public.
39:55In public, individually or in association with others, within due limits.
40:04As the basis of this freedom, individuals and religious communities can contribute to the common good while respecting the autonomy
40:16of civil institutions.
40:19The respect and harmonious coexistence fosters within a nation must also guide its relations with other peoples.
40:28The Uruguayan Constitution itself provides that in international treaties the republic shall seek to resolve disputes through arbitration or other
40:42peaceful means,
40:44and shall promote the social and economic integration of Latin American states.
40:51The fact that Montevideo is also the seat of the Mercosur Secretariat gives concrete expression to this commitment to fostering
41:03opportunities for understanding and cooperation in the region.
41:07In an age when differences can easily become a source of conflict, persevering in respect for the law, negotiation, and
41:19the patient search for agreements is a service that Uruguay can continue to offer to its neighbors.
41:31Before concluding, I would like now to return to that march depicted in the center of this square.
41:38The Redotta holds this unique place in Uruguayan memory.
41:44It commemorates the people put to the test who had to leave behind much of what they possessed and sought
41:53to remain united in the midst of uncertainty.
41:57The lyrics on this monument extend across all four sides of the pedestal.
42:03From any one vantage point, we can only glimpse a part of that crowd.
42:10To discover the others, we must draw closer, walk around it, and let our gaze rest on its figures.
42:20The Uruguayan people are revealed precisely in the work viewed as a whole.
42:26In a crowd of figures, we can recognize an enduring element of the life of Uruguay, the responsibility of each
42:32person to one another,
42:34which has allowed people of different generations and backgrounds to persevere in building a shared history.
42:43To that, Uruguay, I have come as the successor of Peter and as a shepherd,
42:48with the desire to meet the Pilgrim Church in this land and draw near with affection to all its people.
43:08The ties between the Holy See and Uruguay date back to the first years of independence.
43:17In that context, my predecessor, Pope Gregory XVI, confirmed the powers of Fr. Tamaso Antonio Gallagher,
43:27and appointed him Apostolic Vicar of the Republic by means of an Apostolic Brief dated August 14, 1832.
43:38That act of an ecclesiastical nature has also been interpreted as an implicit recognition of the independence of the new
43:49Eastern State,
43:51which at that time was seeking to consolidate its position among the nations.
43:57With her history of faith and service dating back centuries, the Church wishes to continue offering the Uruguayan people,
44:07which she herself has received, Jesus Christ and the hope proclaimed by His Gospel,
44:16and to cooperate through her own mission with all those who work to promote the common good and the dignity
44:22of every person.
44:27May these days allow us to strengthen what unites us and renew the confidence with which we face difficulties and
44:39prepare for what lies ahead.
44:41May God bless Uruguay, and may the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom this people entrusted itself at the time of
44:50its birth, continue to accompany it throughout its history.
44:54Thank you very much.
45:04This was the speech of Pope Leo Forti.
45:12that he did talk to the euro and population you know the only the ones
45:21that were gathered dead the president and do or see and probably 14 will have
