00:01Pope Leo XIV wrapped up his visit to Uruguay on Sunday with an open-air mass outside a basilica in
00:08the south-central city of Florida.
00:11For his final event, the Pope paid homage to the women who passed on the Catholic faith and raised awareness
00:17against gender-based violence, calling on men to treat their wives with respect.
00:23His homily addressed a prominent issue in Latin America. Over the last five years, the region recorded nearly 20,000
00:29femicides, most of them committed by the victim's current or former partner.
00:34Pope Leo became the first pope in nearly four decades to visit Uruguay in hopes of reminding the increasingly secular
00:41nation of its Catholic identity.
00:44He arrived in Argentina later on Sunday, where he will meet President Javier Milei, a right-wing libertarian whose austerity
00:52policies have drawn sharp criticism from the Catholic Church.
00:55The high point of his visit is expected to be the third and final leg of his tour, which takes
01:01him to Peru, where he spent nearly two decades of his life, first as a missionary and then eight years
01:06as a bishop.
01:09Welcome back to the Dutch University of California.
