Pope Leo XIV has urged an estimated 40,000 people in Uruguay to build bridges of fraternity and faith. He used his first Mass in South America to deliver an ode to the region’s beloved mate tea and raise the profile of the Catholic Church in the region’s most secular country.
More than 30,000 people — many from Uruguay but also from neighboring Argentina and Brazil — had registered in advance to attend the service. The Vatican said Saturday that another 10,000 had attended, despite the morning rain.
